About the job
About who needs care: My mom is a Pakistani-born woman who has spent over 40 years in Texas, is 66, lives in San Antonio, and early results point to MS and dementia. She cannot control her bowel movements and has trouble walking. Her speech is a bit slurred, and she has stiff muscles in her shoulders and feet. This is all slowly progressing on top of grief she is working through - my brother passed a few years ago, and she's also working through that emotionally and mentally. Her daily routine is very minimal. She has only breakfast and dinner and tries to walk and run a few errands. About the care needs: Someone who is optimistic and can be a good cheerleader for someone who gives up easily. If you could also make sure she is taking her medication, active - both physically and emotionally, and happy and sociable, you're our person
