About who needs care: Darline lives independently in senior housing and is able to take care of herself fairly well and she has no cognitive issues. However, she does have back issues and some difficulty with mobility and often uses a walker to get around, so she would benefit from someone who could accompany her on some of her medical appointments and errands like grocery shopping. She does drive locally but is not comfortable driving to unknown locations. Darline also could use assistance with a few household tasks such as helping to make her bed after she washes the sheets because it requires some amount of bending. Darline likes getting to know people and to hear about their lives and enjoys country music, animals, and sports like baseball. Darline would structure her day so that she doesn't do too much in one day and get over-tired. She does like things on a schedule, such as eating her dinner around 5. About the care needs: A caregiver who enjoys chatting, has a good sense of humor, and would be able to take Darline to appointments and run errands with her like grocery shopping would be ideal. Services needed include: transportation, meal preparation, errands / shopping, and light housekeeping.
