Seeking Full-time Senior Care Provider In Vero Beach

About who needs care: My mom has long-term lime, and it semi-regularly manifests itself by causing something that presents like a debilitating anxiety attack. During these episodes, which occur most often during the morning, it is very taxing on my dad, who does his best to keep her calm and reassured while also handling whatever needs handling around their house. But it wears him down, and he could use some help. Someone to commiserate with my mom and/or just to lend a hand with chores and errands while he does so. She is also on several medications, common for someone her age with a condition, and keeping track of all that by itself can be quite a task! For hobbies and interests, my mom is very active. She likes walking, gardening, reading, playing cards and socializing with friends. She has a neighborhood dog that she sits for, which I think is very therapeutic (for both!). Aside from this condition she is in good health. Her ideal day would include reading and gardening in the morning, followed by a game of bridge or cards and lunch with friends, with an afternoon to take a walk, play some golf, or whatever. Dinner with friends and a lecture or talk on something of general interest would round out the day, accompanied by a call from her kids (I have one brother) and grandkids, of course. About the care needs: Mentioned above, but here's my best shot: Responsibilities: - household chores and errands, as needed - help keeping her calendar so she can know someone has that when she's in a bad way - help with technology! - commiseration and listening Personality: she gets really worked up when attacks occur, so someone who is patient, soft-spoken, and can help her feel heard would be super helpful. Of note, she is never angry or violent or anything like that - more like anxious, worried, and sad. My dad does his absolute best to help, but he would be the first to admit that empathy and patience are not his natural default. No specialized skills that I can think of. Really just a helpful pair of hands who can also talk to her and help her feel more comfortable with when she's agitated. Services needed include: transportation, meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, and companionship.
