Seeking Compassionate Companion for Wonderful 84-Year-Old Mom in Mount Pleasant
We're looking for a caring individual to spend 3-4 hour blocks with my mom at South Bay assisted living during afternoons or early evenings (timing flexible). The ideal person would have a warm personality and understanding of early-stage memory care needs, while enjoying connecting with seniors.
Activities would include:
Taking regular wheelchair walks outside - this is especially important as physical activity and fresh air are vital to her wellbeing
Light organizing tasks such as putting away folded laundry and keeping her closet tidy
Providing gentle support during the transition from dinner to evening activities
Engaging in enjoyable activities before bedtime (reading, card games, conversation)
We're hoping to find someone who:
Has experience with seniors, including those with early memory care needs
Is comfortable with wheelchair assistance
Is reliable, patient, and consistently encouraging
Can provide references
My mom is a delightful person who would truly appreciate having a friendly companion to brighten her day. We're especially focused on maintaining her daily walks and providing consistent, caring support during evening transitions. If you have a nurturing nature and would like to make a meaningful difference in someone's day, we'd love to hear from you.
Please respond with a bit about yourself and your experience. References required. Pay rate negotiable.
