Save JobJob Description
Need a dedicated and dependable caregiver located near Decatur, GA, to facilitate wife's self-care while I'm at work during the days. She is mobile, but suffers chronic pain and occasionally needs encouragement and assistance when sitting/standing up. Her meals are often simple microwave pasta dishes that we then put through the blender. My wife is not always strong enough to do this herself though. We'll be in need of assistance an average of about 3 days per week, in the morning and afternoon. We're not sure when to start in-home care, but estimate 12 hours of need per week. The primary duties of this caregiver will include: companionship, transportation (has doctor's appointments in Marietta, GA), transferring & mobility, meal preparation, and nominal housekeeping items.
