About who needs care: My mom does suffer from AFib, but for the most part is very healthy and active. She is able to feed and dress herself. She is mobile by way of walkers. She just recently has been put on oxygen but we are able to go for 45 mins(no more than an hour) without it for bathing and some cooking. She LOVES to cook! My mom loves to read, do puzzles, and garden with possible. Not for long periods but does like to stay active. Ideal day is to get up and dress, prepare her own breakfast, perform her exercises, take care of lunch/dinner(she takes her own meds!) and keep busy with light actives around the house. She does need assistance with baths, but is able to keep herself clean(In and out of the tub needs assistance). About the care needs: Good sense of humor helps! She loves to talk... sorry but she has a story for every occasion. I would just hope this person is able to perform CPR and has lifesaving skills in case of any emergency(I don't foresee a problem but good to have training). No specific interests necessary. My mom does have some hearing loss(she does have hearing aids) but patience is nice when communicating. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, companionship, feeding, and bathing / dressing.
