Over time, she has experienced some physical and cognitive decline, so the level of help she needs varies. She is strong-willed and independent, often wanting to do things on her own, though she doesn't always recognize her limitations. This can be frustrating for both her and those around her. She is a mix of stubborn determination and warm kindness sometimes headstrong, other times incredibly pleasant. Her independence is admirable but can lead to frustration when she underestimates her abilities. About the care needs: Ideal Caregiver The ideal caregiver for her is someone with a strong yet gentle presence, patient, compassionate, and confident enough to stand their ground when needed. She thrives off the energy of those around her, so someone with a warm, engaging, and positive spirit will help bring out her best.

Above all, she needs someone who sees beyond her challenges, who values her wisdom, appreciates her strength, and provides the support she needs while ensuring she continues to feel empowered. Services needed include: transportation, meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, feeding, bathing / dressing, and mobility assistance.
