About the Client
We're seeking a compassionate caregiver for an 86-year-old woman living in a retirement community in Belleville. She recently transitioned from a more independent living environment where she had regular PSW support and is adjusting to her new setting. She uses a walker or wheelchair for mobility and benefits from memory prompts and redirection for cognitive support. She requires medication reminders to stay on track. While she's physically capable, she thrives on social connection and getting out into the community. She has some hearing difficulty even with hearing aids, so clear communication is essential.

This role focuses on enriching quality of life through meaningful social connection and community engagement.
