About who needs care: Irene is currently be ridden but would like to walk. She suffers from chronic UTI but has had kidney stones removed and is recovering. She has been in hospital or rehab since June 24. About the only things she has left are reading the paper and watching sports and especially mass at 10 a.m. She was walking a bit in June with walker recovering from broken hip but now she can't stand and require hover lift for transport. We hope to improve this About the care needs: Obviously someone agreeable who can tolerate a cranky old lady. Someone comfortable with dogs. Irene is basically incontinent and needs to be kept really clean to prevent recurring infection. She also would need some one to encourage her to drink constantly and provide able beverages. Irene has special dietary requirements that involve honey thick fluids and certain food consistency to prevent aspiration. One activity she enjoys is sitting out on the porch and another is riding in her car. We would want people who would encourage physical activity and participate in therapy objectives Services needed include: companionship, feeding, bathing / dressing, and mobility assistance.
