About who needs care: My mom is almost 81 and was recently hospitalized for almost 7 weeks. She lives with my boyfriend and I, but is no longer independent. Before November 2024, she was independently cooking, cleaning, showering, using a cell phone, paying her bills online, etc. She does not drive. She has significant cognitive decline due to Vasculitis of the brain and can no longer do many things. We need someone for meal preparation (lunch and dinner). She needs basic meals and has no dietary restrictions. The meals could be frozen and provided once or twice per week and then we could heat them up in the oven or microwave for her. We are also looking for respite care sometimes for us to have nights away. Both of us work and could use someone to be present some days. She mostly sits and watches TV as she requires a walker and cane to get around, so she is not demanding. She would need her water bottles kept filled and meals and snacks brought to her. PT, OT and cognitive therapy would be a bonus. The caregiver could cook the meals here while keeping an eye on her. About the care needs: OT, PT and Cognitive therapy would be helpful, but not required. Average cooking skills. Walking my mom outside to sit awhile and/or walking with her to get her outside and help with keeping her strength and endurance up. She can only walk a block or less using her walker. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, and light housekeeping.
