About who needs care: stroke with right side paralysis. Mobility issues. transfers with a "sara steady" machine. Needs assistance going to the bathroom with getting to bathroom and wiping needs. Needs assistance dressing, getting food and getting to bed. She is 5'3" and weights 245lbs. likes to play games, watch movies and listen to music. Likes plants. My mom lives with me and we are looking for weekend help as a break for me. She is typically up by 7 am, gets dressed, eats breakfast and then does coloring/word finds/watches movies etc. likes to be outside when it's warm out. She can feed herself - but only has a snack at lunch time and then will eat dinner. Typically she is in bed between 7-8 p.m. About the care needs: Someone with an upbeat personality would be great. My Dad recently passed away so there are days she is very weepy. So someone who brings joy and compassion to the table. She is strong willed at times and I need someone who will ensure she is eating "something" little and ensuring she goes to the bathroom. Someone who can use a "sara steady" machine for transfers' and who is strong and can help her get up when needed. Also somone who is not afraid to help bath her and wipe her as needed. She is of Christian faith and enjoys reading her bible and devotional. Services needed include: companionship, feeding, bathing / dressing, and mobility assistance.
