Job description

About the Client:

We're seeking a compassionate caregiver for a 91-year-old gentleman living independently in his two-story home in Kemptville. He has limited vision and uses a hearing aid but remains mobile and can navigate stairs independently. His wife, who was his primary caregiver, recently experienced a fall and will be in rehabilitation for several months. He's a creature of habit who enjoys attending Catholic mass 3-4 times weekly, visiting McDonald's with friends, and maintaining his daily routines. He's a meat-and-potatoes type who doesn't snack and has consistent meal preferences. He naps in the afternoon for about two hours.

Responsibilities:

• Assist with morning routine including dressing, grooming, shaving, and inserting hearing aids
• Medication management and supervision to prevent drops or missed doses
• Prepare and serve meals (breakfast: brand cereal and boiled egg sandwich; lunch: ham and cheese sandwich with soup; dinner: warm meat and potatoes meal)
• Provide bathing assistance twice weekly using shower chair in bathtub
• Light housekeeping including laundry, cleaning, and maintaining the home
• Grocery shopping and meal preparation
• Transportation to church services, social outings, and appointments
• Companionship and supervision throughout the day
• Evening routine assistance including meal preparation and bedtime preparation

What We're Looking For:

• Experienced caregiver comfortable working with seniors with vision and hearing impairments
• Patient, dynamic personality with a loud, clear speaking voice
• Mature caregiver (not too young) who can relate well to a 91-year-old client
• Comfortable with bathing assistance and personal care
• Reliable transportation for community outings
• Ability to work independently and manage household tasks
• Understanding of medication management
• Warm, engaging presence who can build rapport and provide companionship

Schedule:

Seven days per week with two four-hour shifts daily:

• Morning shift: 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM (morning routine, breakfast, lunch preparation, possible grocery shopping)
• Evening shift: 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM (dinner preparation, evening routine, companionship)

Schedule may be covered by 2-3 regular caregivers on a rotating basis to ensure consistency and backup coverage.
