Companion Care Needed For My Mother In Gainesville

About who needs care: My mom lives independently but has short term memory issues. We are looking for someone who can offer positive energy and companionship, as well as remind her to take medications and eat meals. She adores her cat and also has been an avid knitter. Helping her engage with art (watercolor painting, coloring) and music (listening to favorite artists of hers) would also be a benefit. About the care needs: Someone who is warm and confident rather than someone who is quiet and reserved. To get more granular, we would like someone who would easily say "It's a beautiful day -- let's go for a walk!" instead of "Would you like to go for a walk?" Someone who genuinely has a warm heart and who truly enjoys connecting with other people. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, and companionship.
