Job description

Description

We're a warm, caring family looking for a consistent, kind PSW to support our mother during weekday mornings. Our home is calm and welcoming, in a quiet gated community with no car traffic, which makes outdoor walks safe and relaxed.

About the Client:

• Senior woman in her 11th year of Parkinson's disease
• Mild cognitive decline; needs reminders and gentle guidance
• Walks with a walker
• Needs help with transfers, dressing, toileting and incontinence care
• Her husband is her main day-to-day caregiver, and family lives nearby. This morning support gives him respite and gives her consistent, familiar company.
• Other care support continues in the afternoons

Responsibilities:

• Arrive at 8:30 AM and help her out of bed and dressed
• Help her downstairs and prepare breakfast
• Assist with showering when she wants one
• Support a short daily walk with her walker in front of the house
• Help with washroom trips and change briefs as needed
• Offer rest time, then do arts and crafts or gentle exercises to keep her limber and engaged
• Remind her to take medications correctly and on time
• Keep light notes for the family on how the morning went

What We're Looking For:

• Experienced, mature female PSW
• PSW certification
• Experience with Parkinson's disease strongly preferred
• Experience with mobility support, transfers, personal care and cognitive decline
• Patient, calm, respectful and reliable, with a warm and encouraging manner
• Punctual and consistent. We value the same caregiver every visit, as frequent changes are disruptive for her.
• Comfortable with medication reminders only
• No medical, clinical or nursing services are required. These remain the family's responsibility.
• No driving. She will not be taken away from the house at any time.
• Arrive on time and prepared, and communicate openly with the family

Schedule:

• Tuesdays and Thursdays, 8:30 AM to 11:30 AM (3-hour visits)
• Start is flexible, with a trial visit planned within about a week
