Hands-on Care Needed For My Grandmother In Matthews

About the job

About who needs care: 86-year-old female with dementia. She was in a bad accident years ago and now has a prosthetic below the knee. She lives with her husband who takes care of her. We are looking for someone to come in a few mornings a week to bathe her, curl her hair, help her get dressed, have her take a short walk in the driveway, and take her out of the house to give my grandfather some time to himself. She loves playing cards and rummikube although she sometimes forgets rules. She is really beginning to decline in remembering how to complete normal daily tasks. About the care needs: We are looking for someone that is kind and patient. She struggles with the fact that she can't remember anymore and it's really frustrating to her. She can be really sweet, but she does have episodes of being stubborn and mean. Again, she really likes playing cards and being around people. She can only handle this a little bit, but I think if we could get her ready and out of the house to give my grandpa a little time, she would come back ready for a nap or tv time. Services needed include: transportation, meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, companionship, feeding, bathing / dressing, and mobility assistance.
