About the Client: We're seeking a compassionate caregiver for a woman in her early stages of dementia living in Brampton with her husband and son. She worked in Canada for over 30 years before retiring due to her condition. She's currently experiencing word-finding difficulties and has become more reserved, rarely leaving her home. She struggles with depression and sometimes lacks the desire to eat. She's introverted by nature and responds best to calm, patient encouragement. Currently, she receives morning support from another caregiver who assists with showering and dressing from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM. She typically wakes around 9:30-10:00 AM and waits for assistance before starting her day. She still believes she's working, so maintaining a structured daily routine is significant to give her something to look forward to.
