We are currently seeking a Caregiver to provide assistance to an elderly woman with dementia on SATURDAYS from 8:00AM to 8:00PM. She lives in a memory unit in south Sarasota. She needs companionship and guidance that the facility is not staffed to provide. She’s a pleasant person but the effects of dementia mean that she can be moody and in need of persistent coaxing (to eat, to go for a walk, to use the bathroom, etc.).

Responsibilities:

Monitoring the client’s condition while providing companionship.

Accompanying her to meals and encouraging her to eat.

Assisting her with toileting – helping to change her and cleaning her as needed.

Walking with her within the facility, something she enjoys.

Writing shift notes describing the events of each shift.

Requirements:

Prior experience in caregiving preferred but not required; training will be provided.

Compassionate and patient demeanor.

Ability to communicate effectively with the client and her family.

Valid Florida driver's license and a reliable vehicle (with current registration and insurance).

A “Level II” background clearance.

A lack of any felony convictions.

Close to Home Caregivers is a caregiving agency run by caregivers. So, we make every effort to find a good fit for our caregivers. If our caregivers are happy, our clients are going to be happy.
