About who needs care: Mom has Parkinsons. Sometimes her thoughts are fuzzy but for the most part she is alert and aware of her surroundings. She has mobility issues and we push her from place to place. She has trouble sleeping at night and keeps odd sleeping hours. Its a relaxed atmosphere. If she sleeps, you can sleep. You can sit with her and watch tv (no internet - uses an antenna). Keep her company when she is up. If she wants to sleep, let her sleep. She wears depends, and has issues with UTIs and has an incontinence issue and requires constant changing. When she goes to bed she pulls her clothing off and can make a mess from what is in her depends. May have to change bedding frequently. She needs help with meal preparation, has medications that need to be taken every morning and evening (already laid out for the week). Do not need to do house cleaning, washing of clothes and some bedding will be needed. I will wash any blankets. Person must be female, have patience, and a desire to care for elderly.
