Personal Support Worker - Orillia, Ontario - CAD$162.00/week

Description

We're a warm, caring family looking for a consistent, kind PSW to support our mother during weekday mornings. Our home is calm and welcoming, in a quiet gated community with no car traffic, which makes outdoor walks safe and relaxed.

About the Client:

- Senior woman in her 11th year of Parkinson's disease
- Mild cognitive decline; needs reminders and gentle guidance
- Walks with a walker
- Needs help with transfers, dressing, toileting and incontinence care
- Her husband is her main day-to-day caregiver, and family lives nearby. This morning support gives him respite and gives her consistent, familiar company.
- Other care support continues in the afternoons

Responsibilities:

- Arrive at 8:30 AM and help her out of bed and dressed
- Help her downstairs and prepare breakfast

- Experienced, mature female PSW
- PSW certification
- Experience with Parkinson's disease strongly preferred

clinical or nursing services are required. These remain the family's responsibility.

About the Client:

We are a warm, close-knit family looking for a dependable, kind PSW to support our mother. She is in her 11th year of Parkinson's disease and has mild cognitive decline. She is a gentle person who enjoys a calm morning routine, positive company, and staying active and engaged. Her spouse has been her main day-to-day caregiver,



and this support will give him a regular break. Our home is in a quiet, gated community with no car traffic, which makes daily walks safe and relaxing. Consistency matters a lot to us. We've found that a revolving door of caregivers is disruptive, so we're hoping for a long-term fit.

Responsibilities:

- Help her out of bed and get dressed
- Assist her downstairs and prepare breakfast
- Assist with showering on days she wants one
- Help with toileting and change briefs when needed
- Supervise a short daily walk with her walker in front of the house
- Support rest time afterward, then do light arts and crafts or gentle exercises to keep her limber and engaged
- Give medication reminders at the right times so doses are taken correctly and on time

What We're Looking For:

- Certified PSW
- Experienced, mature female caregiver
- Experience with Parkinson's disease strongly preferred
- Patient, calm, and attentive, with a respectful and encouraging approach
- Comfortable with stairs and with mobility assistance using a walker
- Reliable, punctual, and able to commit to a consistent, ongoing schedule

Expectations:

- Personal care and support only. No medical, clinical, or nursing services are required or expected. The family remains responsible for those.
- Medication support is limited to reminders.
- No driving is required. She will not be taken away from the home at any time.
- Arrive on time, communicate openly with the family, and treat our home and our mother with care and respect.

Schedule:

- Tuesdays and Thursdays, 8:30 AM to 11:30 AM
- Weekly and ongoing
- Morning availability is essential
