Care
will be provided in a private residence for an elderly individual living with
dementia who requires daily assistance for safety, mobility, and personal care.
The client’s condition affects memory, cognition, and judgment, and he also has
lasting physical limitations from a past accident, including a broken
collarbone that never healed, which further reduces his range of motion and
increases his need for support. The household requires a reliable PSW who can
maintain routine, reduce confusion, and ensure a safe, stable environment.
