Companion care for senior living in a Care Home
Description
Hi,
I'm looking for an experienced caregiver for 'companion care' for my elderly mother who is living in a senior's residence in downtown Vancouver (near Yaletown skytrain station). Significant experience caring for people with moderate dementia is **essential**. This may only be a temporary position as my mother adjusts to living in this 'longterm care' residence. My mother is sometimes keen to participate in the creative and recreational activities offered at her residence (especially art and music), but often needs encouragement. She also enjoys looking at pictures, books and magazines, playing the piano and taking walks in the courtyard and so I'm looking for someone that can help encourage those activities as well.My mother especially enjoys talking about her elementary school teaching career, her family, gardening, and nature. She also speaks Ukrainian and enjoys sharing her family history and Ukrainian culture. She appreciates quiet time as well
Presently, I am looking for about 3-4 hours of care about 3- 5 days a week.
Hourly rate negotiable (taking into account previous experience)
If you are interested please email me and please include some details about you including your significant experience caring for people with dementia. Criminal record check is considered mandatory in the senior's residence.
Thank you, Anna
