About who needs care: Mom had a stroke 8 years ago and has been independent until recently. She can still walk but occasionally needs a steadying arm. She needs help with getting ready for the evening/bed - change of clothes, getting a plate of food and water, making sure medicines are taken. She has trouble getting from den to kitchen to bed repeatedly so help is needed. Her mind is perfect and she know exactly what she needs and wants. She is pleasant but can be a little demanding, certain of her needs. About the care needs: They need to like to prepare a simple meal with on-hand ingredients, peel fruit, cut cheese, etc. She must be able to take direction and exercise patience. THis person should also be a good communicator with me about mom's daily check-in. And this person should have common sense about the environment and its condition to do what needs to be done to maintain a clean and pleasant and safe environment for mom. Services needed include: feeding, and bathing / dressing.
