Do you think you might be able to share this information about the homemaker/personal care aide position (see info below)? 

Or perhaps could recommend someone?

Homemaker and Personal Care Aide Homemaker and personal care aide needed to assist a 62 year old man with a muscular disease known as ALS or Lou Gehrig's Disease. This job is a part time position located in Somerset close to New Brunswick (off Easton Avenue) preferably six days a week (Monday to Saturday) in the late morning: 9 am to 11:30 am. Fifteen hours a week at $15.00 an hour but some weeks could be a few more hours, as needed. The hours can be somewhat flexible. I would prefer one person but two people each working part of the week would be agreeable. You will provide your own transportation. Must be reliable. I have no difficulty speaking or communicating and have no mental impairment. I am able to walk, to participate in my own care and to speak/communicate fully. My problem is that I am weakened by illness. Personal daily care includes assistance with showering and drying afterwards with a towel and dressing. The types of daily homemaking responsibilities typically would include preparing a light breakfast each morning (e.g., coffee, cereal, fruit, etc.), emptying and filling the dishwasher, making the bed and general home tasks. Feeding/giving water to a small friendly dog (16 years old) who exercises in a fenced yard and does not need to be walked.
The ideal person would be someone who understands my frustration and understands my desire to remain independent, with helping hands. Listening and a willingness to work collaboratively in accomplishing household tasks are important to developing a good working relationship with me. If you seek a position where you perform tasks with complete independence, this is not the job for you. You and I will discuss my daily, weekly and monthly needs. As practical, you will assist me in getting these basic tasks accomplished each week.    Homemaker/Personal Care Aide Task List 9 am to 11:30 am  daily Prepare coffee and light breakfast (e.g., cereal and fruit, fried egg)Empty and load dishwasherClean and fill dog food and water bowlsMake bedOpen draperies in bedroomHang bath towel and bath matSpray tub with Clean ShowerEmpty mailboxFill milk and juice jugs, as neededFill mouthwash bottle, as neededWater indoor plants, as neededSummer - water outdoor plants:  hanging pots and clay pots, as needed  weekly Laundry, as needed (laundry done weekly by friends)Vacuum both carpets and floorsDust object d'art (i.e., pottery, etc.)-       different room each week:  bedroom, den, dining and living roomClean kitchen sinkClean bathroom sink, tub and toilet  every other week Clean kitchen countertop, range hood and backsplashWipe down bathroom tileWash tile floors:  bathroom, garden room, and kitchenChange bed sheets; wash and fold bed sheets every 4 months Clean kitchen cabinetsSet-up self-cleaning ovenWipe down living room chair/sofas with leather cleaner clothsVacuum the TV room/den couch and cushionsPolish shoes every 6 months Clean refrigerator/freezer Dust picture frames and track light fixtures  personal care
