About who needs care: My Mother In Law (MIL) is in her 80s and active and, for her age, in very good health. Her husband has been declining for some time and she has been his primary caregiver, though my husband and I are stepping in more than usual now for extra support. My MIL has very few, if any, outlets. She is artistic though seems to have lost interest in that, and used to do yoga. She does go for walks. We're looking for someone that she can spend a few hours with, hopefully outside of the house (their house is unkempt but we are working on that as well, as we ultimately be moving them). She lives within walking distance of downtown Bethel. Her social skills could use some polishing, but she is generally a pleasant woman who could just use a friend. About the care needs: No specialized skills. We're looking for someone with a lot of patience and understanding, who will approach this with grace. We don't really want her to feel like we are paying for her to have a friend, but we do want to try and improve her quality of life and give her an outlet. Services needed include: companionship.
