Job Description

Job Description

We’re seeking a patient, personable, and dependable caregiver to support our client, an 85-year-old veteran in Burlington, MA. The client recently experienced multiple strokes and has some intermittent confusion, but he values his independence and enjoys staying socially active. We’re looking for someone who can provide companionship, discreet supervision, and practical support while helping him maintain his daily routine and independence.

The ideal caregiver is confident, engaging, and experienced working with seniors who may be hesitant to accept care. You should be able to build rapport naturally, enjoy conversation and outings, and provide support without making the client feel like he’s being babysat. A good personality match is essential!

Location: Burlington, MA 01803
Start Date: As soon as possible!
Caregiver Preference: Male or female

• Assist with light housekeeping, laundry, and meal preparation.

• Offer reminders and encouragement to eat regularly.

• Supervise mobility and help reduce fall risks. Ed uses a cane and has been advised to use a walker.

• Coordinate around scheduled in-home physical and occupational therapy visits.

• Monitor and report changes in confusion, mobility, or overall condition to the office.
  

What We’re Looking For:

• At least 1 year of experience in senior care, home care, or a related healthcare setting.

• Patience, empathy, strong communication skills, and a friendly personality.

• Experience supporting seniors who value their independence or may be reluctant to accept care.

• Confidence providing discreet supervision and encouraging safe social activities.

• A valid driver’s license, reliable vehicle, and current auto insurance.

• Ability to communicate effectively in English.
