About who needs care: My mom has early stage Altzeimers. We are looking for a companion to go on walks with her and show interest in her photography as she loves taking pictures. Someone who is good at asking her lots of questions and showing an interest in her. My mom used to be a psychologist. She craves social connection but is very attached to my dad so it will be a gradual transition for her to build a "friendship" with someone and for her to feel comfortable leaving my dad. We would like to give my dad a break as he is a full time caregiver for her. About the care needs: Warm, engaging, insightful, curious, empathic, playful. A person who is active and enjoys walking and the outdoors. Someone who likes photography, maybe someone who knows some stretching exercises that they can motivate my mom to try. Someone who likes dogs as my mom enjoys saying hello to dogs on a walk. Someone who likes to do Wordle and crossword puzzles. Someone that is patient and understands about Altzeimers and being comfortable with my mom repeating questions and needing to be reminded of recent events and experiences they did together. Services needed include: companionship.
