About who needs care: Recent pacemaker. Lives at home with daughter and son in law who both work. We need coverage a few days a week for me (daughter) to go in to the office. Mom is a fall risk and needs someone nearby in case she has a misstep. She is also in cognitive decline and needs someone around to ensure she is safe. She is still in a good mental state but is occasionally forgetful. This caretaker would accompany her to a nearby senior center exercise class, and/or PT, and daily walks. She enjoys being outdoors, reading, listening to classical music, theater productions, sight seeing, and scenic drives. She gets up around 8-8:30am, has breakfast while watching TV around 9, then reads, naps, does Sudoku and puzzles in the afternoon, has lunch around 12:30, dinner around 6:30. About the care needs: She enjoys being as active as she can, so someone who is willing to go on short 15-20 minute walks is great. She also enjoys reading, so someone who can sit with her quietly sometimes it's good too. The person needs to be able to support her if she trips or stumbles, and be able to stoop, bend, kneel, etc. to help with putting shoes on, getting in and out of chairs, Services needed include: transportation, meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, companionship, and mobility assistance.
