About who needs care: My grandmother is 89 years old. She recently has been having mobility trouble with her legs. She uses a walker to go to the bathroom, but she needs somebody to follow behind her. She spends most of her day in her chair. She does for nebulizer treatments a day. (one at 7 a.m. before breakfast, three at 11 a.m. before lunch, one at 3 p.m. and three at 9 p.m. ) She eats breakfast between 830 and 9 a.m. She eats lunch between 1230 and 1 p.m. She eats dinner at 5:30 p.m. All meals need to be prepared for her.. she watches bold and beautiful at 12:30 and then peoples court, judge Judy, the news and then whichever shows around in the evening. She goes to bed after her nebulizer treatments and the 10 p.m. news. I live with my grandmother but I need to work (my schedule varies so looking for someone that is flexible- possibly will need someone to spend the night sometimes but will let you know in advance. Hours also vary as we do have minimal help from other family members. Either myself or my uncle take her to her appointments. We basically are looking for someone to be here with her because if she needs to use the bathroom, she is unable to go alone. Our home is smoke free. My grandmother is on 2l of oxygen. She naps after breakfast in her chair (she is basically in her chair all day/night). She is very sweet and likes to talk about all sorts of things. About the care needs: Looking for a female with a warm bedside manner. Services needed include: meal preparation, light housekeeping, companionship, and mobility assistance.
