Companion needed for kind mom with Dementia

Compassionate Senior Caregiver Needed in Encino Hills

We are helping one of the kindest loving family’s in Encino Hills AND they are looking for a warm, patient, and upbeat caregiver to help care for theri 85-year-old mother. She’s in the medium stage of dementia — sometimes confused, occasionally nostalgic about her teaching career, and not in any danger — just in need of a steady, positive presence to brighten her days.

She has lost interest in many of the things she used to love. We’d love to find someone who can gently re-engage her with companionship, conversation, maybe a crossword or two, and short walks to get some fresh air. She enjoys hearing stories about your life and loves talking about her life and family too.

Ideally 11AM–7PM, Monday–Friday

Thursday evenings are especially important, as it’s their date night

Responsibilities Include:

Providing warm, friendly companionship

Driving to doctor’s appointments
