Description

About the Client

This role supports an elderly female client who is moving in with her daughter's family in Oshawa. The client is largely independent — she can dress herself, manage personal hygiene, and get around without a walker — but has early-stage cognitive decline that is gradually progressing. The family works full-time and needs a reliable, engaging companion present during the day while they are out. The home is a larger house with stairs — the client is transitioning from a small one-bedroom apartment and will need time to adjust to the new environment and routine. She enjoys conversation and talking and will benefit greatly from a social, engaging presence. She used to garden and light engagement activities such as puzzles, crafts, and light gardening are likely to resonate with her. Medication reminders are needed during visits. The family has a camera in the home for safety monitoring. The client has an upcoming cataract surgery which may temporarily affect her vision. The schedule may be paused for a period of a few weeks while a family member recovers from surgery — notice will be provided in advance.

Responsibilities

  • Companionship and cognitive engagement: spending genuine, interactive time with the client; conversation, puzzles, crafts, light gardening, or other activities that keep her mentally stimulated and socially connected.
  • Medication reminders: ensuring the client takes her medications at the correct time during visits.
  • Supervision and safety: being a calm, attentive presence in a new and larger home environment; ensuring the client does not wander or feel anxious, particularly around the stairs.
  • General wellness monitoring: flagging any concerns to the family after each visit.

What We're Looking For

  • PSW certification or equivalent experience in personal support or companion care.
  • Experience working with clients with early-stage cognitive decline or dementia.
  • Warm, conversational, and socially engaging — the client loves to talk and needs a genuine companion.
  • Patient and adaptable — the client is adjusting to a new home and routine.
  • Reliable and consistent — building familiarity and trust is important given the transition.
  • Located in or near the Oshawa/Stevenson Road area.

Schedule

Starting schedule: Wednesday & Thursday, 12:30 PM – 4:30 PM (4 hours/visit). The family is looking to start as soon as possible. The schedule may be temporarily paused for a few weeks with advance notice, then resume. Hours may increase over time as needs grow.
