About who needs care: My mom is overweight and diabetic. She needs help in an out of chairs most of the time. She needs help in the bathroom cleaning up and getting changed. Mom wants to live with Dad because he has Alzheimer's and needs someone to help him through the day. Mostly dad gets by fine if mom is there to make decisions. She has a cleaner a few days a week and my sister and I take turns staying on the weekend. We're just exploring options to see what may be available. We're afraid to leave them alone now since it's so hard for them to get around. My dad shouldn't be driving but mom sends him to store frequently for stupid things like ice cream. If she falls the paramedics have to come get her up. About the care needs: A friendly personality is a must. And no smoking drinking or drugs. There are no pets in the home anymore so it's just the two of them. There is a room with a private bath upstairs but no shower yet. I would have one added if we find the right person. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, feeding, and bathing / dressing.
