About who needs care: My mom was recently diagnosed with brain cancer and going through treatment at home. She needs companionship because my dad cannot be with her all the time. We are looking for a caring, supportive and patient person who can help to remind her about her physical therapy activities as these activities will help her regain her strength and coordination. Activities such as preparing meals in advance (she enjoys cooking) will help her in her recovery. Conversation and engagement is important as well. She needs a companion that she can talk to and help remind her about the exercises and activities she learned in physical, occupational and speech therapy. She enjoys going for a short walk and sitting on her porch swing. Having someone in their home on a regular basis will add the structure she and my dad need in their life right now. About the care needs: Someone who is patient and supportive to provide a que to my mom to remind her of the best way to do something. Someone who will encourage her to take the action vs doing the action. For example: let her put on her shoes instead of doing it for her. My mom enjoys gardening, reading, talking about her grandkids, she used to sew and make curtain, pillows etc. These activities are more challenging for her. If someone could help simplify them for her, she would enjoy doing them again. Services needed include: transportation, meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, companionship, and mobility assistance.
