We are seeking a compassionate and emotionally intelligent caregiver to support a 79-year-old widow living alone in Meadowbrook, PA. She is currently in the mid-stage of dementia and experiences notable short-term memory loss and repetitive behaviors. The ideal candidate will be warm, patient, respectful, and capable of offering gentle guidance while honoring her independence and dignity.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Provide companionship and emotional support throughout the day

  • Offer gentle reminders for medications, meals, and personal hygiene

  • Prepare simple, nourishing meals

  • Assist with light housekeeping tasks

  • Engage in respectful redirection when managing repetitive conversations or minor resistance

  • Encourage autonomy while maintaining a safe and structured environment

Ideal Personality Traits:

  • Naturally warm, kind, and emotionally intelligent

  • Patient, upbeat, and conversational, with a gentle sense of humor

  • Skilled at setting boundaries without being confrontational or directive

  • Respectful of personal space and capable of guiding routines without overwhelming the client

  • Able to remain calm and positive when faced with repetitive or passive-aggressive behaviors

Preferred Experience:

  • Experience working with clients who have dementia, particularly in mid-stages with cognitive decline and behavioral patterns

  • Caregivers with high emotional resilience and patience, even without formal dementia training, are welcome to apply

  • Previous success navigating complex or sensitive interpersonal dynamics in caregiving roles

Candidate Preferences:

Due to the client’s personal preferences and comfort level:

  • Confident and emotionally attuned caregivers

  • Physically active and fit, in alignment with the client’s expectations

  • Must be reliable, professional, and sincerely dedicated to providing high-quality care

To Apply:
If you are a thoughtful, experienced caregiver who is passionate about supporting individuals with dementia in a respectful and engaging way, we encourage you to apply. This is a deeply meaningful opportunity to make a difference in someone’s daily life while being part of a supportive and appreciative environment.
