About who needs care: An ideal day might look like: Arrive at 11 a.m. Make a snack (she will have already made coffee and breakfast but may need help with this if slept late) Help with tidying/household chores (laundry, dishes, etc.) Change hearing aid battery Adjust thermostat - make sure lights are all functioning Collect mail and organize appropriately (I have a mail caddy in the kitchen - I can handle all the bills/etc when I am in town) Sit nearby/in the next room over while she takes her bath (she doesn't need help - just gets nervous bathing alone) Make a hot meal for her before leaving and make sure the television is on in her bedroom before you go :) About the care needs: She can be pretty outspoken/bossy and is starting to get confused and have memory loss - so someone who is very patient is of utmost importance She loves to chat. Loves fashion. So sitting with some magazines and talking about clothes and celebrities could be fun Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, companionship, feeding, and bathing / dressing.
