About who needs care: What I am looking for is a plan for when my dad may be unavailable to take care of my mom like if he ends up in the hospital. We aren't there right now but I need to have things in place for when it does happen. my mom has Parkinson's and a spine disease that makes it difficult for her to do everything on her own. She get's up at 7:30 or so and my dad makes breakfast then she get's cleaned up and does some straightening around the house. She can make herself a sandwich for lunch if need be and then she rests and watches tv for the afternoon and then my dad makes dinner and they watch some shows and go the bed. About the care needs: My mom is very social and someone that is a go getter would be the best fit. someone that moves slow or doesn't appear to be engaged would not work. She very much would like to still feel in control of her home. There is a chair lift for her to get up and down the stairs so she's independent that way. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, companionship, feeding, and bathing / dressing.
