About the ClientWe’re seeking a compassionate caregiver for a woman living with Parkinson’s disease for nearly 20 years. She experiences significant balance issues, takes multiple medications, and has hallucinations—particularly in the evenings and overnight (5 PM to 5 AM) as a side effect of her medications. While she has cognitive sharpness when not hallucinating, she requires supervision for safety. Her husband is the primary caregiver but works full time, creating strain on the household. She previously managed all cooking and household tasks but now needs support. A physical therapist visits weekly. The client is initially resistant to receiving care and may need time to adjust to having a caregiver in the home. She uses a walker or wheelchair for mobility.ResponsibilitiesProvide companionship and emotional support to reduce isolationEnsure safety supervision,
