About the Role
We are seeking a compassionate, patient, and experienced caregiver to provide one-on-one support for a 64-year-old female client with dementia in her private home, where she lives with her husband.

Our goal is to find a caregiver who can form a genuine connection with the client, earn her trust, and make their time together safe, comfortable, and enjoyable. Because the client is naturally introverted, building trust may take time. A gentle, patient, and consistent approach is essential.
