About who needs care: Mom is 98. No specific diagnoses other than age, arthritis, weight loss. She has moderate dementia, mostly affecting short-term memory. She uses a walker for very short distances, does her own toileting so far, is on hospice with a live-in caregiver (me- daughter). Her hearing and vision are both impaired, but she's good company if she's in the mood, she is not demanding at all, she just needs people to keep her safe (sometimes she tries to sit where there is no chair, I had to turn off the breaker on the stove, she always drops things, etc.) I would like someone who could just be there for her, and maybe do one light chore each time such as dishes in the sink. About the care needs: She is a people-pleaser so she might not let an older person help her, she always feels the need to get dressed and do makeup before any many can visit. She likes to have someone to watch TV with, her hobbies are reading and crossword puzzles. She used to be great with the computer but now usually forgets she even has one or how to use. (She can't use an electric can opener any more either.) She talks about going out, but hasn't left the house except for 2x in the last five years. She likes people who have a good sense of humor, she has a special fondness for new yorkers like herself fyi, she likes friendly people but not relentless talkers. She is a retired nurse, so someone who won't talk down to her. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, and companionship.
