About who needs care: My mother has glaucoma and hearing loss. She is limited in her mobility because she is scared of falling. She is a former artist, avid reader and creative soul, but has been very limited due to the deterioration of her vision and hearing. She lives with her husband who is also 87 and is relatively good health but is overwhelmed. About the care needs: Someone warm and patient who has some understanding of visual impairment and who is also able to articulate clearly/loudly enough that my mom is able to understand would be best. My mom is cognitively intact, but can get lost if she does not hear what is being said. It would be very helpful for the caregiver to also be stable and strong enough to help my mom get up and move around if needed (she is 104 pounds). Services needed include: feeding, and bathing / dressing.
