Our client is moving to a gorgeous senior community in the heart of Pasadena mid-August. She is in her late 70’s and is very independent, but is experiencing some short-term memory issues. Her two adult daughters would like to find a wonderful companion who can work approximately 20 hours per week, M-F. They are thinking 3:00pm-7:00pm though it could be earlier hours in the day on occasion. Duties include things such as bill pay, communicating with doctors, running errands, meal prep, organization, driving, companionship, medication management, encouraging her to eat and getting her out and about. There are two cats underfoot, so if you are allergic — please be warned! Our client can become frustrated irritable so awareness of this disease and how it functions matters. The ideal match is a lively and loving caregiver who is smart, quick and fun, and has experience interacting with someone who has dementia. Please reach out if you are relatively close to Pasadena, have experience with dementia and are interested in assisting this wonderful family. Thank you!

Charming gentleman in his 80’s with dementia needs round-the-clock caregivers. He lives in Venice and has a large dog and a cat. His mobility is pretty good, but he needs help with daily living and medication management. His family lives nearby and is involved. He can be grouchy at times, but is lots of fun and has lots of love and support in his life. The ideal candidate is warm, friendly and experienced with dementia. Reach out if it’s you!

Our client is a married couple in Westwood. The Husband (age 74) was recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s and his needs are rapidly increasing. We are hoping to find a male caregiver who has previous experience dealing with a Parkinson’s patient. The typical schedule is M-F and full-time hours are offered, if necessary — though they can get by with around 6 hours per day (9am to 3pm-ish) if a candidate would prefer a lighter schedule. The ideal candidate is happy supporting the household in terms of light cleaning and simple healthy cooking. There’s a significant fall risk here — so finding someone who takes great care will be essential. There’s some medication management, plus driving to appointments, and encouraging exercise. We are hoping to find the ultimate Jack of all trades with a big heart and a great sense of humor! The couples’ two sons and grandchildren visit regularly, and you will become part of the extended family! We are looking for a candidate who enjoys joking around and has a low-key relaxed personality to match the vibe of the house. If you have been hoping for a long-term job with an amazing family — look no further! Please reach out with your comp. expectations and availability asap. Thank you!
