About who needs care: My mother has major depressive disorder and is very sweet, but not social at all. I've been living with her for two years, and am moving out in three weeks. She recently spent a month in the hospital for various medical conditions and is coming home in two days. I will be there as I transition into my own home, but think starting with a caregiver while I'm at work would help. She can take care of most of her personal needs, but needs help with grocery shopping, changing the sheets, medication reminders, chewy and swallowing properly reminders, taking out the garbage and making sure she tends to her cat. About the care needs: I think a soft spoken and gentle person would be a good fit. No specialized skills are needed. My mother has no interests or hobbies besides watching TV. I've tried to get her to join the senior center but she finds excuses, so I gave up. Services needed include: transportation, meal preparation, errands / shopping, and light housekeeping.
