Retired disabled lady requires help with dressing, showering, toileting/emptying commode, preparing/heating basic meals, ensuring medication is taken, and helping to lift her legs into bed, as well as miscellaneous tasks such as light tidying, changing bed linen, charging mobility scooter, filling flasks, etc.
The house is large and very clean, and is fully equipped with wide doorways, electrically operated hospital bed, shower chair, accessible wetroom shower, and excellent kitchen facilities including dishwasher.
A typical day would require approx. 1.5 hours between late morning and lunchtime, and the same again around 8.30pm to prepare for bed. A standard weekend involves these times from friday evening to sunday evening inclusive. Times and durations can be flexible if you are fitting this around another care job.
My mother is: a retired lady who suffers from acute osteoarthritis and spinal stenosis, and therefore requires help twice a day with various tasks.
You should be:Female, with experience in a carer role and excellent spoken english. An Enhanced DBS check will obviously be required as this is a carer position.
Her main care is already provided by myself (her son) so we are looking for someone long-term to provide care during alternate weekends. If you are available short-term, please do enquire.
