Save JobJob Description
I am looking for a caregiver for my 77-year-old dad. He is currently bed bound but is doing therapy to help him walk again. He needs someone to help remind him to take his medicines, change his diaper, cook simple meals for him (he feeds himself) and my mother, change his clothes, bathe him, and help him get ready for dialysis three days a week. Once he gets stronger, the caregiver will be responsible to take him to/from dialysis which is also in Mesquite. We are currently using a separate company for transportation that takes him in his wheelchair. My 77-year-old mom also needs help. She is mobile with a walker. She needs reminders to take her medicines, help with light housekeeping, baths, and assistance running errands and going to doctor appointments. The caregiver will have access to my parents' minivan, must have a good driving record. They do have a dog who is in a crate at night and goes outside during the day. Non-smoking household. Hours are Mondays - Saturdays from 8:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. and 4 p.m. - 8 p.m. Open to multiple caregivers to fill various days.
