Description

We're currently looking for an Occasional Adult Care Provider in Occasional Caregiver in Pasadena, CA 91105

A lovely family near South Arroyo is seeking an occasional caregiver for their 68 year old mother to start as soon as possible. Backup care is needed 1-4 times per month on any day between Monday-Saturday between the hours of 7am-5pm, typically for 4 hours at a time. The client resides at an assisted living facility in Pasadena, and the family is looking for someone to engage with them in various activities including puzzles, nail care, and coloring books. The client enjoys talking about pop culture, doing crossword puzzles, and reading. The client is diabetic, has a history of a stroke, and may be forgetful at times. She uses a 4lb. cane when walking, and a wheelchair for longer distances which can fit into a standard sized trunk. She wears adult Depends and may require under the arm assistance when standing up (client weighs ~130 lbs). She has a history of seizures and the caregiver will need to assist with checking her insulin levels + sugar should this occur (wears a continuous glucose monitor). The client can administer insulin independently, but it will be helpful if the provider can indicate the right dosage. She has a visual impairment and cannot use her left arm fully as it's very weak due to her previous stroke. The family can provide at least a week's notice prior to when backup care is needed. Those applying do not need to be available for all of the family's requests, but should understand that

there are no guaranteed weekly hours for this position . A great candidate will be attentive, compassionate, flexible, and patient.
