Personal Support Worker - Coldwater, ON - CAD$216.00/week Description
About the Clients:
We are seeking a compassionate and reliable caregiver to support a couple in their seventies living in a rural home near Coldwater, Ontario. Both clients are currently managing temporary health challenges and need assistance with daily tasks while they work toward recovery.
The husband is recovering from a below-knee amputation and is currently using crutches to offload a healing wound. His mobility is limited, and he requires help with outdoor tasks like taking out garbage and walking their 0.8-kilometer driveway for prescribed exercise on flat surfaces.
The wife is managing lymphedema in her leg following treatment for lymphoma and a brain tumor removal that causes occasional vertigo. She needs support with a prescribed massage therapy routine that she can demonstrate, as well as assistance with light housekeeping, meal preparation, and errands. Both clients are active, fun-loving individuals who spend six months of the year in Florida and are eager to regain their independence.
The home includes a friendly 5-pound Yorkie who loves visitors. The couple has multiple vehicles available for caregiver use during shifts.
