Client is my mom, soon to be 85. Just diagnosed with stage 3 cancer and facing chemotherapy and radiation and accompanying side effects. My dad is also part of the home; he's also 85. He is very kind and tries hard, but he needs help and reassurance, as none of the kids remained in Omaha. Also a small and friendly dog. Mom is a good soul but can be salty, and she has a great deal of fear and apprehension at her illness. She may need help with medicine, general wellness, coaching on trying to eat and hydrate. Helpful if someone has worked with chemo patients. Also might need a hand to hold and a friendly face. Not looking for a maid, but perhaps light food assist (like making her a sandwich). Mostly to monitor health and meds in light of nausea, etc. Services needed include: companionship, feeding, and bathing / dressing.
