Our member is looking for a support worker to visit for 1 hour each on Tuesdays & Thursday mornings every week for showering (partial) assistance at their apartment in Parramatta, which is on the 30th floor. She will need assistance with undressing/dressing, assist on/off the shower chair, assist with washing & drying her hair and being available if she needs assistance with washing or drying and then the support worker needs to tidy and clean up the bathroom afterwards, ensuring that it is a safe, clean environment.
Our member suffers from a form of dementia and she will need a support worker who is calm and patient with her. She will likely not be able to remember who her support worker is at each visit so the support worker needs to be comfortable with reintroducing herself each time. Our member will need prompting to complete tasks and will need assistance with some of her personal care.
Our member only speaks Arabic, however her husband has good English skills and he can translate. Our member and her husband doesn't have any pets, however our member's husband often looks after their daughter’s dog at their home, so they are looking for a support worker who likes dogs.
Services will include:
