About who needs care: My 72 yr old sister is having wrist surgery on an outpatient basis on 9/25/24. She will be going home that day and I am looking for someone who could stop in and check on her meds and self care. She is very frail, and she lives with a developmentally delayed woman. Susan will be on oxycodone and antibiotics. She is a smoker and a heavy drinker. She has osteoporosis and is chronically underweight. About the care needs: Susan is very personable but my concern would be if she starts withdrawal symptoms. I don't know how quickly that sets in. A person who has a sense of humor but can also be no nonsense as Susan can talk a good story. Services needed include: feeding, and bathing / dressing.
