About who needs care: Had left knee replacement surgery end of November which followed with a week hospital stay the to rehab. 3 days before release form rehab she fell in the bathroom and broke her right femur at hip leading to another surgery for repair and 10 days before release hospital stay. Went to rehab and was released 3/21. She is still non weight bearing on the right leg and gets around in wheelchair. Needs safety monitoring when in the bathroom and help with dressing and meal prep. She likes to fold clothes and wash dishes (have not attempted washing dishes yet). Shes receiving PT and OT at home and should be getting home health aid for help with showering. Needs reminders to take medications. About the care needs: Someone who is patient yet firm with telling her she shouldnt be or cant don certain things such as stand up without having someone with her for safety and how to stand without putting weight on her right leg. Person needs to be able to support her if she needs help transferring from chair/couch/wheelchair and to be able to bed over to help her change pull up and pants. Her hobbies are cleaning but she cant do much of that due to being no weight eating on right leg. Its hard to say what she really likes other than that but she will attempt to do some things if asked. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, companionship, feeding, and bathing / dressing.
