About who needs care: Aphasia from Stroke, Uses walker in the house, Ileostomy. About the care needs: Someone with a caring, positive personality with a good sense of humor who enjoys conversation would be a good fit. Might need to become familiar with emptying ostomy bag but my Mom mostly does it herself. She used to enjoy cooking/baking, gardening, taking drives at Presque Isle, home decorating, reading, watching tv. She can still do some of these things with assistance. Services needed include: companionship, and occasional mobility assistance up and down stairs going out of house. She uses a walker independently at home. Might need light meal prep assistance. Hours will vary depending on when you are available. We are trying to work with a few caregivers and will have to come up with a schedule. Must be somewhat flexible.
