About who needs care: My Mom has moderate memory loss. She likes to watch TV, play piano and arrange photographs. She needs companionship when she is alone due to her husband being at dialysis. She needs help remembering to not wander off or use the stairs unless necessary as she is recovering from hip surgery. About the care needs: No specialized skills are needed. My Mom does not want to be treated like a child. She is proud and independent and just needs companionship and guard rails for her return home. The stairs are steep and she should be discouraged from using the stairs unless necessary or wandering off. It might be best to find a creative way to describe this work; personal assistant, perhaps? Services needed include: companionship.
