What are the responsibilities and job description for the Weekend Days Saturday/Sunday (9A-9P) *Dementia Experience Required position at First Light Home Care of Clarksville?
Job Description
We are looking to hire a sweet/kind team member for a gentleman and his wife here in Clarksville. There is an element of couple's care for both and providing daily ADL's for both. This is very minimal, but there is an element. The husband is an older gentleman we help out minimally for his ADL's. He is a very sharp and sweet guy. The wife is fairly independent, but she has dementia/alzheimer's. She is fine for most of the day, but suffers from Sundowners some times. There can be great days and tougher days for her, which is why we are wanting someone familiar with this disease. We are mostly there to help with standby assistance as they are both fall risks, as well as light housekeeping, preparing meals, etc. Very nice family that needs someone super reliable and can help them with their day to day needs. The shift will be 9A-9P EVERY SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. Dependability is a must.
** If you want full time hours outside of the 24 hours on the weekend, there is the possibility of adding a week day client as well to get 40 hours**
