About who needs care: Parkinson's patient who is currently bed bound for now post-surgery with goal of getting her PT rehab. She is currently using catheter for peeing, but she will need to be cleaned and changed when voiding. She will be getting tube feeding started, when that procedure can be scheduled. She has a Hoyer lift, so that she can be lifted out of bed and into a chair for sitting. Importance for her to get support in doing some range of motion exercises, exposure to music, and someone to keep her company to prevent anxiety and depression. She'll need someone to feed her, keep her hydrated, as well as provide medications with that schedule being well-established. About the care needs: It would be good if the person spoke Tagalog, and an even bigger plus, if the caregiver can speak Ilocano. Someone who is patient with a sense of humor would be helpful, cause our mom needs stimulation as someone who is coping with Parkinson's disease and having a history of anxiety/depression. Singing is another activity that brings our mom joy, so would be nice if the caregiver liked singing too. Services needed include: feeding, bathing / dressing, and mobility assistance.
