Personal Support Worker
Quilt, Inc.
Developmental Support Worker / Personal Support Worker / Health Care Aide - Whitby, ON, Whitby, ON - CAD$108.00/week
Description
About the Client:
We're seeking a compassionate caregiver for a woman with dementia living in a long-term care facility in Whitby. While the facility manages all medical and dietary needs, she would benefit greatly from additional one-on-one companionship and engagement that the home cannot provide. She is hard of hearing and requires patience and clear communication. This role is about enriching her daily life through meaningful activities and personal attention.
Responsibilities:
Take her for walks around the facility or grounds
Lead basic stretching and movement activities to keep her active
Engage in conversations, puzzles, and other cognitive activities
Place her hearing aids in upon arrival and remove them at the end of visits, returning them to the charging station
Ensure she is dressed appropriately for activities and weather
Check that dirty laundry is placed in the laundry basket rather than hung back in the closet
Use directive language rather than asking questions, as she may be resistant or uncertain when given choices
Speak clearly, face her directly when talking, and speak at an appropriate volume to accommodate her hearing loss
What We’re Looking For:
Experience working with individuals with dementia
Patience and understanding when working with seniors with cognitive decline
Ability to communicate clearly in English
Calm and patient demeanor
Skills in providing memory prompts and gentle redirection
Ability to take initiative and lead activities
Experience in long‑term care settings is a plus
Understanding that building familiarity and trust takes time

Monday and Thursday mornings, a few hours per visit. Consistency is important to help build familiarity and comfort.
