About who needs care: Mom has microvascular dementia. Hospice is working with us as of this week. Dad is undergoing daily treatments for throat cancer. He goes to location M-F for radiation in the mornings. We have family and friends staying with Mom during that time or going with dad and taking her along. She isn't content to let us clean. It would be helpful to have someone there to clean, clean her up if she makes a mess, and cook. We're new at this so just getting an idea of what's needed. About the care needs: Someone who is very compassionate and kind, knows how to be firm and confident to get mom to respond yet gentle as her body hurts. Also possessing a silly sense of humor would work well with Mom. She loves to be silly and laugh. My best times with her is when we can tease each other. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, feeding, and bathing / dressing.
