About who needs care: My mother is 85, has diabetes, moved in with my brother about 1. 5 yrs ago, has declined substantially since she just sits all day and watches t. v. My brother works from home, but can't attend to her very often; she needs interaction and movement. Has some memory issues. She is Korean but speaks English, minor language barrier (we don't speak Korean), so need someone patient with the conversation who is willing to try to understand. We would like someone to spend time, maybe take her out sometimes (movies, lunch, shopping), take her on walks in the neighborhood for some exercise. About the care needs: Someone kind and patient, soft spoken but good at keeping conversation, has basic understanding of diabetic nutritional needs (will NOT need to administer medication), but maybe remind mom to take meds if they are out to lunch. Willing to keep mom busy mentally with simple games. Services needed include: transportation, and companionship.
