Care/Companion/Housekeeper for A 92-Year-Old Very Healthy Vibrant Women

SB
Active:

I am looking to keep my mom in her condo in S.W. Calgary for as long as she is willing and able. Eleanor is very active and manages well on her own. I have been her caregiver for the past year but am moving into a home of my own. Eleanor is not on any medication, her cognitive behaviour is still quite good. She is cheerful and easy-going, a real sweetheart with a joy for life, loves to laugh and have fun. I plan to be involved with the communication with the caregiver and will require updates. I try to encourage a healthy lifestyle, while recognizing she is 92 and wants what she wants. I would expect the same from you. The requirements; you must be bonded, insured for liability, or willing to obtain, have current references, updated First Aid Course & current police check. You will be able to make healthy meals, help to plan her meals or follow a meal plan, encourage her to have a nap, do her yoga, daily stretches and outdoor walks. Be onsite when she showers, scrub her back, and cream it. Laundry, ironing, regular changing of the bed, and ongoing cleaning of her house. Projects like sorting through and packing up items for goodwill, playing cards or games, helping her to write in her history of memories book, chatting and be easygoing. We are looking for someone who can start out being with mom 3 X a week for 2-3 hours a day. Likely the care will go up in the Fall to 5 X a week 3 - 4 hours a day and increase as required. Your schedule may be mornings from 9-11 and back from 3-5. You will be open and willing to have a flexible schedule. Weekends not required at this time. The future holds a full 6 hour day as we are looking for 1 - 2 years of care. Eleanor is still driving but we plan to have her give that up this Fall, therefore there may be the need to drive her to the grocery store, she still likes to go, take her to her Fitness classes and yoga. May include travel in the winter. If this seems of interest to you please contact me so we can have a phone discussion. Thank you
