About who needs care: I need morning help for both parents in their home to make breakfast and lunch ensure parents take medications already prepared for them. Light house work and cooking ahead evening meal prep. Some driving to Drs appt with our car. Daily account of blood pressure, weight and write down food carbs and salt Breakfast and Lunch so Mom can calc insulin for diabetes and watch salt restriction for heart failure. Dad is chair bound to bed and bathroom with walker due to history of cancer and balance issues. Dad Sponge bathes 3x a walk. Minor assistance- feels more confident if someone follows him while walking to bathroom. Mom is independent but tires easily and needs cheerful helper around house able and willing to help with cooking and organizing home which they love. About the care needs: Need someone that is cheerful and asks what they can do to help. Parents enjoy quiet to read and watch TV- so they do not need entertaining and companionship as much as daily household tasks keeping up with laundry, clean kitchen and bathrooms and vacuuming which neither can do. Organizing planning healthy meals with Mom is a must. She loves to cook but must watch no salt diet and carbohydrates as a diabetic. Mom needs compression socks put on and medicine reminders ie insulin before eating but is independent in self care. Dad simply needs things brought to him like meals and bathing care items tooth brush etc as he only gets up from chair once a day to toilet. Dad self caths his bladder due to inability to pass urine, but is independent in procedure. We need careful attention to emptying and cleaning urinals to prevent urinary infections. Services needed include: transportation, meal preparation, errands / shopping, and light housekeeping.
