Position Summary/Job Duties:

Looking for an Independent Living Assistant who can work between 10-25 hours per week. 

I am 45 years old and had a brain tumor and stroke 11 years ago. I have hemiplegia on the right side of my body and some speech and cognitive disabilities. I have lived alone in an apartment on the south side of Madison for 8 years.

Need help with:

  • Heat-up meals and clean-up afterwards.
  • Wash, dry, and fold laundry.
  • Drive errands.
  • Assist with me driving my tricycle. There is an extra bike to use as well.
  • Physical/occupational therapy exercises.
  • Sitting by the lake, going to museums, listening to music, etc.

**A driver's license is preferred but we can discuss this on the phone.

As an adult with a physical disability, living independently means that I am supported through a medicare program called IRIS. This program is designed to allow disabled adults to live a full independent life. IRIS pays for personal care workers to provide supportive care in the home and community. 

This position would be funded through IRIS. The approval process would require a criminal backgrond check. The hourly pay for this position is $15.75. Hours per week can be discussed if interested.

Qualifications:

**A driver's license is preferred but we can discuss this on the phone.
