Dementia Caregiver.

Position Overview
We are seeking two compassionate and dedicated Dementia Caregivers to provide specialized care and support to two siblings living with dementia. One position is live-in; the other offers the option to live in or commute.

Both clients are currently very independent, managing their own personal care including showering and toileting. However, as dementia naturally progresses, caregivers must be prepared and willing to provide increasing levels of support, including assistance with bathing, dressing, feeding, and eventually comprehensive 24/7 care alongside the other caregiver. This is a long-term commitment to growing with the clients' needs.
