Job Description
I'm looking for an additional caregiver to help take care of my dad, who lives in a lovely and spacious home in Waterloo (Keats Way & University Ave.).
My dad is 78 years old and has Parkinson's, is a gentle, sweet soul who is friendly/mild-mannered, used to be a chemical engineer, and likes old Bollywood movies/songs. His mobility tends to fluctuate, and he needs assistance with most things (dementia patient). He gets a daily PSW visit in the mornings.
At present, myself (the son) and a few part-time caregivers take care of him, and this vacancy comes up as our live-in caregiver for the past 3 years will soon be shifting. As such, there is a gap of about 36 hours/week or so to fill (perhaps spread over 5 days/week). A live-in caregiver is preferred, although live-out is also an option. I myself am at the house about half the time (I also manage another house nearby), and am fairly flexible scheduling-wise. I do about 15-20 hrs/week with dad, and the other part-time...
