Hands-on Care Needed For My Mother In Lexington

About who needs care: Seeking Evening Companion and Caregiver: 7 - 9 p.m. Were looking for a warm, funny, and empathetic caregiver to assist my mom, Diana, in the evenings. At 62, she's a vibrant and youthful woman living with Alzheimers, and she values being treated as the independent, dynamic person she is, rather than just a patient. Diana lives in her longtime family home in Lexington, MA, with her two affectionate cats. About the care needs: The ideal candidate will help create a calming and enjoyable evening routine, with a focus on companionship and consistency. Responsibilities include: - Preparing and a light dinner with her, ensuring she eats in a relaxed and enjoyable setting. - Assisting her with light tasks like changing into her pajamas and preparing for bed. - Ensuring she takes her medications as part of her routine. - Spending time engaging in meaningful conversation, listening to her favorite music or doing a few light stretches / yoga to help her relax. Were seeking someone who is patient, upbeat, and knows how to make caregiving feel natural and human. Familiarity with Alzheimers care is a plus, as is a love for cats. If you have the ability to connect with people, respect their autonomy, and bring some humor and warmth to their evening, you could be a great fit! Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, companionship, feeding, and bathing / dressing.
