Carer wanted for my 81 year old mother who has dementia in our Bungalow in Earlham NR5 for Sundays 10am to 6pm.

My mother is an amazing woman that spoke 7 languages and went out of her way to help anyone. We are looking for an equally amazing carer that has an open mind, patience positive energy and a real desire to care (sense of humour will definitely help) but desire to really care and help is really a must as well as being reliable, punctual, honest, independent with good decision making skills.

Healthy meal preparation is a part of the job too. My mother isn’t on any medication and we really plan to keep it this way as long as possible so a healthy diet and ensuring she is fed and hydrated through the day is really paramount to this.

Being active is a must as my mother really loves to walk and dance still and requires at least 1 hours worth of walking per day (typically over 2 walks).

We are looking for someone permanent.

Duties to include

Washing

Dressing

Cleaning

Taking my mother for a walk

Preparing nutritious meals

Helping with feeding

Providing companionship

Housekeeping

Laundry

Hours Friday, Saturday and Sunday only from 10am to 6pm for 8 hour shifts.

Some overnights available from 6pm to 10am occasionally.

We as a family really need reliability and structure in our lives and so require a person that helps us bring this to the house in their care and their actions and demeanour.

We have a calm and friendly family home that includes myself, an 9 year old daughter that is super friendly and funny and my mother.

We are really looking for someone that comes with stability to help us manage a situation that we never thought we would be in with my mother but one we are learning to accept and see the positive in what it brings to us too.

There is no medication currently for my mother and we plan to keep her life as medication free as possible unless totally essential. To do this we rely on a lot of interaction with her and a nutritious diet as well as a healthy living environment with plenty of fresh air and exercise.
