About who needs care: My Mother is very capable and is struggling accepting help however has had 2 recent 7 day hospital stays for cardio-pulmonary issues. She is short of breath - using nebulizers, a walker for balance and "exercise" walks. And finally, had a pacemaker placed with severe complications therefore she is unable to cook for herself, do laundry, push a vacuum etc. About the care needs: Uplifting personality, yet grounded, not too talkative, I think having someone will make her feel less alone, and help with driving to intermittent doctor appointments as well as relieve her of housekeeping issues. Specialized skills in cleaning, organization and cooking would be helpful. The dusting alone, will help my Mothers breathing. Additionally, my Mother has tasks she must finish as she recently moved and barely has the energy to call the phone company or review bills, so if the caregiver can assist with cooking and cleaning my Mother can finish her moving tasks. Hobbies: watching spy, cooking, and Jeopardy shows. :). As she improves the job would go from weekly to bimonthly depending on my Mothers health. Services needed include: transportation, meal preparation, errands / shopping, and light housekeeping.
