About who needs care: My Mom has early onset Dementia/Alzheimer's. She loves HGTV and her daughter (me) and her grandsons. She used to love to read, she likes to sit outside and get fresh air. I'm trying to get her readjusted to sleeping at night and being up during the day with an occasional nap here and there. I would like for her to eat breakfast in the morning maybe watch some TV or try to engage in some of the gadgets that I have bought for her like the game of Simon that her grandsons bought her for Christmas to help with her memory. Have lunch and maybe after lunch she can take a nap and have dinner and after dinner have a shower and get dressed for bed and sleep tight. The aide would come in on the days that I'm not physically able to be at her house myself. About the care needs: I am definitely looking for someone who can relate to the situation that my mom is in. Someone with empathy, patience, guidance. As far as specialized skills.... CPR is important. And any other traditional health care resources or training is definitely a plus!!! Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, feeding, and bathing / dressing.
