Hands-on care needed for my mother on Saturdays 9am-9 p.m. Mom has very low vision, wears hearing aids, and has some short term memory loss. She needs help with balance, medications, 15 minute exercise routine, preparing her meals and general safety and companionship. Due to blindness, "watching"/listening to TV is her only real activity. Loves to sit on her front patio when weather is nice. Does have a small dog. Must be patient, kind and dependable. Needs reliable transportation. Self directed as to know when to encourage mom to get up, bathe, dress, eat, exercise, take meds, etc. OK for a student to do homework, etc. as long as mom's care takes priority. Needs to be comfortable taking vital signs with automatic equipment. *Consider being our "as needed" coverage when caregivers are absent.
