Position Overview:
We are seeking a compassionate, dependable live-in companion/driver to support an independent gentleman in his mid-90s. While he remains physically active and values his independence, his family is looking to introduce an additional layer of support to ensure his ongoing safety and well-being.
This is not a personal care or medical role. Instead, the position focuses on providing transportation, companionship, and general oversight as an extra set of eyes and ears in the home.
Key Responsibilities:
- Provide safe and reliable transportation to appointments, social engagements, and family visits
- Offer consistent companionship and social interaction
- Serve as a supportive presence to help ensure daily safety and well-being
- Assist in coordinating visits with nearby family and friends
- Maintain awareness of surroundings during walks and outings
- Occasionally assist with light tasks such as heating pre-prepared meals (no cooking required)
- Keep personal living space clean and organized
Candidate Profile:
- Comfortable working with a proud, independent older adult who may be resistant to assistance
- Able to set respectful but firm boundaries when needed
- Possesses a strong sense of self, patience, and emotional intelligence
- Has a good sense of humor and enjoys engaging conversation
- Reliable, observant, and proactive without being intrusive
- Valid driver’s license and clean driving record required
- Bonus: Willingness to learn (or existing ability) to operate a boat
Living Arrangement & Environment:
- Live-in role with private accommodations provided
- Active, family-oriented environment with frequent interaction with children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren
- Opportunities to share meals and participate in family gatherings
Additional Details:
- Position runs from May through late October, when the client typically relocates to Florida
- Potential opportunity for continued employment during winter months in a warmer climate if the arrangement is mutually beneficial
What This Role Is Not:
- No personal care (bathing, dressing, medical support)
- No housekeeping or regular cooking responsibilities
Ideal Candidate:
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys meaningful companionship, values independence in others, and can balance attentiveness with respect for autonomy. If you are patient, grounded, and enjoy building relationships across generations, this could be a highly rewarding opportunity.
