About who needs care: My mother is in a nursing home for short term care after a break in her femur. Since she was not progressing with the PT that is offered there, Medicare is no longer providing her PT. She is not really progressing with doing things on her own. She has been given exercises to increase her strength so that she can go back on PT with Medicare at the nursing home. She needs a "push" to do the exercises. Her husband is there with her to help but he is also in his 80's and could use some help and at least get this off his plate. About the care needs: No special skills, just a willingness to do these simple exercises with her. she needs someone stern BUT positive and willing to ignore her claims she doesn't want to continue. She is not in pain and fully capable of the exercises the nursing home has provided Services needed include: feeding, bathing / dressing, and mobility assistance.
