Description

About the Client:

We are seeking compassionate overnight care for a 75-year-old gentleman in South Ajax who was recently diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer (glioblastoma). He is currently receiving treatment at Sunnybrook Hospital and will be transitioning home soon. The tumor affects his motor cortex, significantly impacting his mobility and dominant right arm function.

He requires assistance with basic activities of daily living including transfers, toileting, hygiene, and repositioning in bed. While cognitively robust, he has experienced rapid physical decline over the past five weeks and is on heavy medications to manage seizures. He lives with his 65-year-old wife who has her own hip condition and needs respite support.

The family is setting up the main bedroom with all necessary equipment and supplies to avoid stairs. This is a culturally close family committed to providing care at home during this difficult time.

Responsibilities:

- Provide attentive overnight supervision and care from 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM, seven days per week
- Assist with multiple nighttime bathroom transfers using walker
- Help with repositioning and adjusting in bed throughout the night
- Support with personal hygiene tasks as needed
- Monitor client's condition and respond to needs promptly
- Provide companionship and reassurance during nighttime hours
- Communicate effectively with family members about client's status
- Maintain a safe and comfortable environment

What We're Looking For:

- Experienced PSW or caregiver with strong transferring and mobility support skills
- Comfortable working with clients who have neurological conditions and limited mobility




- Patient, compassionate approach with palliative or complex medical care experience preferred
- Ability to work independently during overnight shifts
- Physically capable of assisting with transfers and repositioning
- Reliable and committed to consistent scheduling
- Understanding of seizure precautions and medication management
- Cultural sensitivity and respect for family dynamics

Schedule: Seven overnight shifts per week, 8 hours per shift (10:00 PM to 6:00 AM). Additional daytime visits may be added in the future as needs evolve. Immediate start required upon client's hospital discharge.
