About the job
My mother is 79 and needs a provider with experience with mental illness/challenges or someone who is willing to be patient and understanding. She suffers from depression, anxiety, chronic grief and some paranoia due to recent blindness. My mom went blind almost two years ago so is still learning how to live life with this new challenge. She loves people but can be overbearing at times. Our concerns are: Medication Prompting, Light Housekeeping, Bathing / Dressing (she is very mobile but is blind and therefore needs so assistance making sure the water does not go everywhere and finding things like shampoo or soap), Meal Preparation (meals on wheels does come 3 times a week), Companionship (she is extremely lonely but very opinionated so she needs someone who does not take her opinions personally as it is part of her mental illness).
