About who needs care: My mom just beat lung cancer for 3rd time. Now weighs 104lbs, she's weak, very bad fatigue, has respiratory problems, memory issues, hard time concentrating & shes lonely Supposed to start respiratory therapy beg of Feb. She doesn't remember to take her daily medications. She doesn't move around much, watches tv all day/nite. My mom is such a good person, a people person, but the cancer treatment has laid her low. She needs someone who will play cards w her, watch a show w her & have conversations. Encourages her to take a shower every other day, helps her do chair yoga or some kind of PT or respiratory therapy, making sure shes taken her meds, fix lunch w her. Help her plan dinner. The thought of becoming stronger & getting back to her normal is overwhelming to her. Too much to do & doesn't know how to start. About the care needs: Id like the caregiver to play cards, watch tv, hold conversations, but not have to fill silence. Fun-loving, likes jokes & likes to laugh. Someone who can encourage my mom to shower, make lunch, drink protein shakes. Check to make sure my mom took her morning medications. If not, give her the medications & watch her take them. Motivate her to clean 1 room everyday. . Knows how to help get her stronger. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, and companionship.
