About The Position

This is a true live-in position with one private client, not an hourly shift, overnight shift, or occasional agency live-in assignment. The caregiver will relocate and move into the client’s private home, have their own private bedroom, and sleep in the client’s home on scheduled work nights. The caregiver will help the client on and off throughout each day as needed, assist with memory care, activities of daily living (ADLs), cooking, housekeeping, and other household needs. Scheduled breaks to leave the home will be provided based on the agreed-upon schedule. Grandma Joan is a nationwide household-employer recruiting service specializing exclusively in full-time live-in caregivers. Since 2010, families across the United States have contracted with Grandma Joan to find, screen, and recruit experienced caregivers for long-term live-in positions in their private homes. The position is located in Boston, MA, 02118, for a woman in her mid-80s who lives alone. Care needs include memory care and hands-on assistance with ADLs. The recipient uses a walker and wheelchair. Household and non-care needs include meal preparation, medication reminders, driving, errands, light housekeeping, laundry, and companionship. The schedule is full-time live-in, 7 nights and 6.5 days each week, for a long-term position.
