Older Independent Woman Needs Medication Help
Posted by Rich E. on 12/19/2024
- $25.00 per hour
85 year old diagnosed with Lewey Body Dementia and Parkinson's needs someone to visit at least 5 days a week to make sure she's taking her medications, has plenty of food on hand and is grooming and cleaning herself regularly. Tasks are generally very simple as she tries to be mostly independent and do most things by herself. Examples of tasks needed are to fill her electronic medical dispenser, possibly grocery shop, do occasional laundry, ask her to clean and groom herself (she's very cooperative), take her very occasionally to doctor appointments (car preferred but not mandatory) and mainly just check on her to make sure she's doing okay and that the house is clean. I do want someone who knows CPR, just in case of emergency. Ideal candidate will be friendly and compassionate and love to laugh. Starting pay is $25 per hour and am looking for someone for an hour per day. But, will consider more hours for doctor's appointments, etc. Would like someone close by on the North Side of Chicago, Lawrence and Sheridan area. Also, please NOTE: Parking can be an issue and she does not own a parking space. But, the job is mostly very easy.
