About who needs care: My mother is physically disabled and needs assistance getting out of bed in the morning, getting dressed and ready for the day, fed breakfast and lunch, and supported in going to the bathroom. She cannot walk and needs support to stand so transferring to and from her wheelchair is required. Most of the day, she listens to the radio in the living room. Wake up around 9A (breakfast and tea, bathroom and day preparation including toothbrushing, hair brushing, assisting with dressing, etc.) Light housekeeping until 12:30 or so until she's ready for lunch, another trip to the bathroom, and that's it. About the care needs: Someone who is patient is necessary, my mothers speech is slower and takes a minute to understand. They need to be able to lift her to and from the wheelchair- she is 5 ft. 8 and around 160 lbs. She has some use of her muscles so its not dead weight but someone strong and experienced in lifting/transferring is preferred. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, feeding, bathing / dressing, and mobility assistance.
