About who needs care: Diabetes, obesity, poor med compliance, little to no hobbies or activities, needs transportation to appointments and to nearby family with occasional trips to Eastern Oregon. My mom spends most of her time reading, but is open to new activities and making new friends. Social networking outside the home would be very important. About the care needs: Someone genuinely friendly who has knowledge of diabetic diets and is willing to provide gentle encouragement to comply. Someone who has med management skills to ensure she takes what she should, when she should take them. She loves card and board games, but someone who will gently encourage her to maybe join a senior center for social interaction. Services needed include: transportation, meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, companionship, and mobility assistance.
