About who needs care: My mother has advanced COPD and is on oxygen 24/7. She also has high blood pressure, high cholesterol and kidney disease. I am looking for someone who can provide her with companionship and help her with showering (she sits on a stool in the shower and just needs some assistance washing). I would love someone to help her cut up fruits and vegetables so that she can eat healthier. She needs some assistance with things like getting dressed, putting on her socks and making her food (like microwaving leftovers or premade meals, etc.). My father is also at the house and can help her as well, but he is very busy and would like the extra help, too. Plus, my mother really needs some companionship and someone to cheer her up on the days I am not able to come visit. She loves watching Fox news, chatting and doing crosswords. She is super sweet and will appreciate any and all help she can get and will especially love the socialization!! About the care needs: Someone who is social and has a pleasant demeanor who can provide my mother with great companionship because she is depressed being home all the time and could use some cheering up! Someone who doesn't mind helping with minor tasks around the house, getting my mother things she needs in other rooms and help with cutting up fresh fruits and veggies as well as heating up her meals. Also, someone who doesn't mind providing assistance with her showers and someone who does not mind that they normally have News on most of the day because my parents love their news! Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, companionship, feeding, and bathing / dressing.
