Individual
My name is Dr. Chip Ward. My wife is a mostly healthy 80 year young lady who is the sweetest, most enjoyable person anyone could know. She has limited mobility, but gets around acceptably using her walker. She is weak all over, but is otherwise very healthy. She can be a fall risk, but we will be starting intense physical therapy very soon to strengthen her legs and give her back the energy she has temporarily lost from the recent surgeries she had. So, she needs basic help with some every day activities in the afternoon. She is also strengthening her legs with home exercises, and she needs gentle reminders and encouragement to continue these so she can regain strength when not at therapy. She may also need to be taken to medical appointments on an irregular basis, but she has her own car for this. She has little appetite, so needs to take her meds on time, and needs to eat. She is smart, well educated, quite unassuming and very pleasant to talk with and be around. She wishes to have a close relationship with her care giver. She is very kind, and a very personable person......say all of her friends. We need someone to help her with basic afternoon needs between the hours of ~2-5 or 2-6 pm. 3-4 days per week...... We are looking for someone kind, caring, honest, friendly and a warm personality. I would like to have a phone chat to learn about you, what you are looking for and a general Q&A. Our need is immediate, so we have to decide quickly. We would also like to arrange an introductory visit so you can meet with Dawn and me (i.e.; her husband). For insurance reasons, we are looking for someone who is a CNA or equivalent. Formal training in CPR, first-aid, home medical care might also be acceptable. You can reach me at: [email protected] or at 610-909-... (cell) or 610-434-... (Direct work - afternoons). Hope to hear from you very soon.
KIND REGARDS Dr. CHIP WARD
