About who needs care: My 90-year-old mother was diagnosed with peritoneal cancer 2 months ago. She started chemo about a month ago. We moved her to an Assisted Living facility about 3 weeks ago. When I am in town which is about 70% of the time, I am able to handle all of her care. When I am gone my brother who lives in Oak Park is able to do about 50% of her care. What she most needs is someone to come in once a day and wash her privates well, apply Destin, check for any bed sores, basically make sure she is not having sores arise. Keeping her clean when I cannot About the care needs: My mom is exhausted from the cancer and the chemo. She needs someone gentle and kind who is ok being quiet when my mom does not seem talkative. But cares and is patient when my mom does try to express herself Services needed include: feeding, and bathing / dressing.
