Hands-on care for my mother in Quakertown

Posted by Rebecca G. on 6/5/2026

  • $25.00 per hour

Mom has Lewy body with parkinsonism, and is recovering from a small stroke. Dad is able bodied but needs help getting her out of bed in the morning & dressed, as well as getting her to bed at night, using the toilet, and giving sponge baths.

Mom is actually very strong, and some days can stand up on her own, or with minimal help. Other days, she doesn't seem to be making the connections necessary for standing, so transferring her takes some muscle and a strong back. (She weighs 140).

She is almost always happy and silly, or calm and quiet. She loves to sing old novelty songs. About the care needs: We're looking for someone patient and kind. If you enjoy being silly, Mom will, too.

We are currently looking for 2 shifts: Fridays 5pm-7 p.m. and Saturdays 8am-10 a.m. & 1pm-3pm Payment rate: $20-$25 per hour
We recognize that two hour shifts are sometimes not worth the travel time for folks outside of the Quakertown area, so please be aware of our location and the short shifts.
