IMMEDIATE NEED
Aug 29 – accompany me to a VA PCP appointment, sit in (with my permission), observe and take notes, and help me ensure the visit reflects my actual presentation and care needs (the VA sometimes “re-narrates” later).
Produce a same-day visit summary (what was discussed, care plan, follow-ups) I can keep for my records.
Ongoing: Tues/Thurs afternoons (preferred) 2–4 hrs/visit, start ASAP (flex if needed).
ONGOING DUTIES (non-medical, within license scope)
Medication reminders, simple meal prep, hydration cues.
Light activity: stretching assistance, short walks (park/downtown), jacuzzi safety monitoring.
Safety/ADL check-ins (no heavy lifting).
Documentation for VA (Aid & Attendance notes): complete a brief care log each visit (date/time/tasks/observations) and a monthly summary that I can upload to the VA.
Occasional escort to VA or Community Care appointments; note-taking and brief visit summaries.
WHAT I NEED (MUST-HAVES)
RN/LVN license preferred; CNA/HHA with strong documentation skills welcome.
Comfortable working with PTSD/anxiety; calm, patient, non-reactive demeanor.
Excellent note-taking/writing—clear, objective summaries; can mark observations that support Aid & Attendance need (I’ll provide a simple template).
Confidentiality (HIPAA mindset), clean background, valid ID, reliable transportation.
CPR/First Aid. TB/flu/COVID vax preferred.
Smartphone for secure note sharing (PDF or shared doc).
Bilingual (English/Spanish) a plus.
SCHEDULE & LOCATION
Aug 29 VA appointment: ~3–4 hours block (time window TBD; San Diego VA location).
2 afternoons/week ongoing (prefer Tue/Thu, flexible): 2–4 hours per visit.
Downtown San Diego (92101)—easy access by trolley/parking garages.
COMPENSATION (DOE)
RN: $50–$65/hr
LVN: $40–$50/hr
CNA/HHA: $28–$35/hr
3–4 hr minimum for the Aug 29 escort block; same-day payment
HOW TO APPLY (via CL relay)
Subject line: “A&A Care – RN/LVN/CNA – Your Name”
Include:
Resume/CV + license type/number (if RN/LVN/CNA).
Availability for Aug 29 and Tue/Thu afternoons.
Your desired rate within the band above.
Two brief references (or contact info).
4–6 sentences on your experience with veterans and documentation (clinic notes, home-care logs, or similar).
If bilingual, note English/Spanish.
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
You help me stay on routine (meds/meals/movement) and keep a calm environment.
You reliably produce clear visit notes that I can use for VA Aid & Attendance documentation and bring to follow-ups.
You escort, observe, and summarize at medical visits so my record reflects what actually happened.
We keep a predictable 2-afternoons/week rhythm with occasional appointment support.
QUICK NOTE
This is non-medical home care + visit documentation and appointment support within your license/scope; I’ll never ask you to perform tasks beyond that scope. Friendly, professional, and reliable communication are essential.
