About who needs care: Mom lives with my brother, He and I are her primary caregivers at this time. I still work but my brother is retired. However with her increased needs he is unable to leave her alone in the house. We are looking for someone to "be available" to her when needed so he can either run errands or work on his shed/projects outside. Mom is not really into small talk unless she initiates it. She has memory issues. She was big into 4-H, working with children, and loves animals. Looking for someone to be in the house available to help Mom with transfers, toileting, getting meals to her. Meals would most likely only need to be warmed up. About the care needs: Comfortable with transfers, use of gait belt or other assistive devices. Comfortable with toileting help (currently just needing help changing brief if needed and checking to be clean after a BM). Would like someone who is not afraid of conversation but not afraid to NOT have conversation. Mom sleeps a lot. She is not looking for a companion per say but just rather someone to be there with her and for her when needed. Services needed include: mobility assistance.
