About who needs care: My grandmother has Stage 3 Lung Cancer and is on oxygen 100% of the time at home. We need help in caring for her because she cannot be left alone. She is probably 85% with it and only gets a little bit confused if she hasn't slept well. We need someone to hang out, help her get snacks, help give her her herbs and medicine (all simple pills) and check her blood pressure/oxygen. Medical training is not necessary but we need someone patient, kind, and trustworthy. She is mobile but sometimes needs help getting up into bed. About the care needs: Someone Kind and Gentle but also very timely. Someone who can stick to a task and get creative with helping someone stay positive. Someone who can coach her through deep breathing and help her calm anxiety too. Nursing skills not needed but ability to learn blood pressure cuff and oxygen monitor. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, companionship, feeding, bathing / dressing, and mobility assistance.
