The recipient is a 88 year old, kind, 110 lb, 5’ 1” female with dementia. She is mostly nonverbal, but can say several words reasonably clearly, she can read and write to communicate if needed. She goes on walks every day, feeds and dresses herself. Recipient lives in a 3 bedroom 800 square foot apartment in Los Angeles 90016. There will be another female roommate also living on site but she does not do caregiving.
This posting is for a PRIMARY person who will live at the residents and help the Recipient 4 days a week, and you can either stay or leave on the days you don’t work. Caregiver will provide safety and look out for wellbeing, must keep the place clean (***if you struggle with keeping things clean or are squeamish about cleaning a toilet or shower etc. this is not the job for you***). And must provide all care, medication on schedule. For primary caregiver, we provide the front den room for free for helping the senior tenant. The den room rent provided for free for helping senior tenant in her home and you can use this as your personal space. Available for someone that is in the house every day and night, at least four days a week. The senior tenant takes numerous short naps during the day, and you will assist primarily when she is mobile and walking around.
Senior tenant provides:
1) Free access to kitchen and all common areas.
2) $145.00 per day, paid bi-weekly by cash. The senior sleeps 15-16 hours a day, when she is napping you are free to take an extended break, sometimes other roommates and family are watching the recipient. You must provide assistance to senior when she gets out of bed during your time. She usually sleeps through the night but if she gets up at night you must help her.
3) Front guest room which is about 150 square feet, it has a bed with a new mattress. However, we expect you will spend most time in Recipients room, as there is a bed for caregiver also in that room.

5) Up to six days a week may be available later in the year, or we will bring in another caregiver for the other days.

While we provide a free room, we expect caregiver to monitor Recipient while she is in her room and stay in close proximity to assist the Recipient walking at all times. There is a bed alarm in place. There is a second bed in the recipients room for caregiver, so caregiver can stay close at night. The recipient is a fall risk and cannot be allowed to walk without someone holding her, but she may walks during her designated walks around the block.
We are only considering female caregivers.
