My mother lives with me and I will be going on vacation. She needs help with meals and household tasks while I am gone. While she does not need all-day care, she would need someone either several times a day or a large block. her current schedule is coffee and breakfast at 6:30 (so I can leave for work), lunch I leave for her at her leisure and then dinner when I arrive home around 5 with a bed-time routine at 8 p.m. She needs morning and evening meds, some sort of social engagement (uno is a favorite) and help with laundry for the week. There are also pets in the house, they will have a separate caretaker. (unless you want to take that on too). My mom is pretty easy going but also will not tell you what she needs, you have to suggest hey would you like lunch or to go to the bathroom?
