About who needs care: My mom is a researcher and very intelligent/kindhearted. She loves genealogy and family histories. She needs a little help in the late mornings to bring food upstairs - we have a refrigerator and microwave and coffee maker in her upstairs bathroom for her. She has a PT that comes once a week and our extended family member comes to clean/do laundry weekly. But she doesn't move enough and consequently we battle UTIs with her. Sometimes she needs a little help with getting to a doctor's appointment, but we do have her set up with go-go-grandparent and she has a visiting nurse that stops in once a month. An ideal day would be if someone could swing by at 10:30 or 11:00 bring her two meals upstairs (I can arrange for meals to be delivered), check on her, chat a bit, and make sure she can get her desired daily tasks accomplished. Probably about an hour to an hour and a half. About the care needs: My mom has her faculties and is not hard of hearing - so she doesn't enjoy people who are loud or speak to her like she's a child. She gets a little lonely at times and needs someone who is upbeat. She is not religious, so religiosity would be annoying to her Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, and light housekeeping.
