About who needs care: Mom has full on dementia. She lives at home and my brother lives with her and cares for her but he's gone at work during the day and needs help. She no longer drives and so she wanders around during the day-- a companion would help fill some of that time and ensure her safety. Also, we have a need for a nurse to help mom with showers and general healthcare. About the care needs: Obviously with dementia someone who understand that Mom will repeat herself constantly. They would need to be patient with her. She's very sensitive to people getting angry or irritated or raised voices -- sweet and accommodating is a must. My mom used to design & stone jewelry, she was very creative at one point so anyone who likes doing diamond art or puzzles, sewing, crocheting, etc. Mom would be into those things (when she remembers she used to do them). Services needed include: companionship, feeding, and bathing / dressing.
