About who needs care: Our Mom has a colostomy bag which she is able to empty on her own most times. She needs someone to be with her during the working hours on weekdays when everyone is at work just to make sure she eats on time (breakfast and lunch), takes her medications and ensures that she walks safely around the house (ground floor only). She would enjoy a good conversation, good company and some light exercises instead of just sleeping or watching TV all day until folks come back from work. About the care needs: A compassionate, educated and patient female caregiver capable of intelligent conversation, who speaks English well, preferably with a Christian belief, knowledgeable about common medical situations in the elderly, nutrition and safe physical activities for elderly (for exercise). An artistic flair would be preferred but not mandatory. Also knowledge and ability to care for someone with a colostomy would be ideal. Services needed include: companionship, feeding, and bathing / dressing.
