We're seeking a compassionate caregiver for a senior woman in Belleville who values her independence but needs support to continue living comfortably in her home. She's experiencing some memory changes and feelings of loneliness, making companionship just as key as practical help. She's mobile and manages her personal care independently, but household tasks have become challenging. She previously had a caregiver in Vancouver whom she really enjoyed, so she understands the value of having consistent support. She can drive and handle grocery shopping on her own, but would benefit from company during errands if she chooses.
