About who needs care: Mom has dementia and is a high fall risk (she's fallen numerous times). Therefore she must be monitored constantly. She has aortic stenosis and is also under physician care for anemia and hypothyroidism. She enjoys walks, reading, word games, coloring, and other activities when she has the energy. Fortunately, it's recently been determined she does indeed have need of an iron infusion. She'll be receiving that this week and so her energy level is expected to improve over the coming weeks She also enjoys her 2 indoor cats and 1 outdoor. We currently have a home health aide coming 4 mornings a week who assists her with bathing, etc. However, they aren't always available and I need a few hours a week for myself in the evenings. So I'm seeking someone who can help fill in the gaps. About the care needs: We're Christian so a caregiver who is also would be ideal. As mentioned earlier, Mom has dementia so patience, compassion, and a caring personality are key. Since she's also a high fall risk, someone who is very attentive with safety as a priority who can assist her with safely getting to and using the restroom is vital. If you'd enjoy with her to stimulate her cognition, reading with her and engaging in conversation, with her, coloring with her, and playing memory games to stimulate her memory, you may be the perfect fit! Services needed include: companionship.
