We are looking for a live-in backup caregiver for an elderly gentleman. He has a full time caregiver who you would be assisting throughout the day and on her days off. A private beautiful studio, utilities, and meals during work hours are included. Having another job or schooling that allows you to work from home and attend to his needs as well is fine. We are not a medical facility, nor do we use any prescription drugs, so no formal training in the medical field is necessary. Health and wellness knowledge is definitely a plus but can also be learned on the job. The ideal candidate will be looking to maintain or improve their own healthy lifestyle. You must be comfortable with bathing, toileting and cleaning up after him. A typical day would require you to help manuver him from bed to his chair in the livingroom at 7am and back to bed at 8pm. During the day he may require help with standing, moving from chair to wheelchair and back, as well as to the potty. Meal prepping and creating healthy meals is also required a few days a week. Estimated at about 20 per week. He is a tall. 6'5" man who weighs roughly 200 lbs so helping maneuver requires quite a bit of strength. As his family, we live near by and help with some of his care, as well. No smoking, vaping, drugs, or hard alcohol. The house is located 30 miles north of Reno and is remote. We have excelent hiking and biking right out the front door. Pets are welcome as long as they are well behaved and get along with other animals. If you're interested in discussing the possibilities, please text or call.
