About who needs care: Undiagnosed memory issues. Type 2 Diabetes. Companionship would greatly help her mood. About the care needs: Someone more extraverted that enjoys talking and doesn't mind answering a lot of questions. The patient (my mom) is very talkative and this tends to take form in her asking a lot of questions. If the caregiver could help sort medications by day and night, that would be fantastic. Once a week, my mom also needs reminding and potentially a bit of help setting up her dexcom (particularly the bit with her phone). Also, if they could give reminders about insulin when they are present. My mom loves to shop (though please do not encourage her). But if someone were to enlighten her and ask her for example, 'which sweater do you think I should get?' She would love to give her expertise and talk about clothes. Additionally, she loves dogs, especially her 17-year-old companion puggle, Lizzy. She also enjoys celebrity gossip Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, and companionship.
