About who needs care: I fall frequently and have other health problems that interfere with doing certain household tasks. I am also new to the area and have not connected with anyone locally. I rent from my cousin, but he can only help so much and he works a lot. My family and anyone else I know are 1. 5-2 hours away and are unable to help me. I do have dogs, cats, goats, chickens, ducks and rabbits, as well as gardens and houseplants. I have managed to care for them with modifications I've figured out and help with a few things from my cousin a couple times a month (like filling feed bins). I have been unable to do many of the other hobbies I used to do because of physical and psychological limitations, but have enjoyed crafts, cooking, canning, drawing, and anything creative. I listen to many audio books and when I feel mobile enough and have the opportunity and finances, I enjoy thrift shopping and going to new and different restaurants, bakeries, etc. The biggest things I need help with are: Filling pitchers/jugs of water from the filter system upstairs and bringing them downstairs to my living quarters sweeping and vacuuming folding and putting away laundry washing dishes and/or bringing dishes to the dishwasher upstairs, running the dishwasher, and bringing them back downstairs Changing my bed sheets and remaking my bed other random things like breaking down boxes from packages so they can be recycled, carrying trash to car and driving it down to the dumpster by the road I think I could manage with just an hour or 2 per week, either on the same day or 2 different days. The days of the weeks and times are flexible. I block out 3pm-6 p.m. for quiet time/a daily nap as instructed by one of my providers. I get up at 6:30 a.m. every day and go to bed at 11 p.m. I have many appointments, but times and days are flexible and appointments can be changed if needed. I need help ASAP as I fell Friday and am much more limited than usual.
