About who needs care: My mother is in her 60s and is currently living alone. She had a spinal surgery a few months ago, and had a fall in the hospital that resulted in her fracturing her pelvis. She is mobile, typically with a walker. She likely does not need any physical support but would benefit from someone being there to assist in her household responsibilities, like laundry. It would be helpful if someone could ensure that she is eating, taking her medications, assist her in going to the grocery store, and getting to her doctor's appointments. Her native language is German, and while she is perfectly fluent in English, a fellow German-speaker would be great for her morale. About the care needs: A German speaker would be preferred, though not required. She has a tendency to resist help and is very stubborn. The perfect candidate would be patient and empathetic, ideally someone who has a good sense of humor and can put up with a little push-back. Services needed include: transportation, meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, companionship, and mobility assistance.
