Hello, I'm looking for a hospice caregiver for my mother with terminal cancer. She is currently enrolled in a hospice program, but they do not provide the round the clock care she needs so we are looking for someone to fill in the gaps. I am her daughter and I am currently in college in another city but will be visiting often. Our schedule is not set yet, but we will likely need someone for overnight care and at least a couple hours each day. My mother is very weak at this point. She is no longer eating but drinks some water. A daily routine might include reminding her to take her medication, fetching water for her, and helping her to the bathroom. More care will be needed as time goes on. Mostly she just sleeps. She often feels nauseous and is sensitive to smells and lighting.
