Caregiver/Companion needed for 78 year old man living in an independent living facility. He has memory issues and needs help organizing himself, his medical appointments, his phone, his cat, and some companionship. He has had a very interesting life as a college professor, meditation teacher, entrepreneur, burning man participant and Baja B and B provider. He would not like to be treated like a patient but would respond well to companionship and engagement. He gets confused and needs help with his phone and various life events and this frustrates him. A personal connection would be critical for success, therefore besides experience and training dealing with memory care, we need to find a personality match. We want someone who can communicate well with family members, who has experience in healthcare, hopefully memory issues and dementia, who enjoys life and would be interested in taking client out to various local activities. Pay and hours to be discussed. This will start as a part time job and is open to change as needs grow. Please include resume and information about yourself.
