About the care needs: She's hard of hearing so have to talk load to be heard. Easy-going personality helpful. Sense of humor. Willing to push my mom a bit to do things vs just watch TV. (puzzles, cards, rosery, ride in wheelchair, car ride, sit on deck...). She is very with it in the moment so she understands what's going on around her. Maybe shower 1x/wk - depends on other caregiver who works Monday-Wednesday. No special skills needed. Services needed include: transportation, meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, companionship, feeding, and bathing / dressing.
