About who needs care: I am having shoulder surgery on March 13 and will be in the hospital until Friday. I will have help from my daughter over the first weekend until Monday morning. I would like my daughter to explain to the new caregiver in general with what activities I will need help. My main handicap is lymphedema in my leg and to deal with my heavy compression stockings is not possible with out two arms. Some housework may need to be done but my elderly husband is with me most of the time. About the care needs: I would like her to be strong and capable besides being a pleasant personality. I am in general easy going and I do not need entertainment. I am thinking of a few hours several times per week over a three week period. Our house is small and easy accessable on the main floor. I am an early riser and would like to start my day by 6 or 6:30. Once ready with bathing and stocking care I may ask her to make some easy breakfast and do some tidying up . Services needed include: feeding, bathing / dressing, and mobility assistance.
