About who needs care: My mother has macular degeneration, both wet and dry. A week ago she fell and is terribly bruised. She needs reminders to take her pills, already sorted and labeled by day of week and AM, PM and bedtime. Microwaving already prepared foods is needed, though she only eats two bites and won't eat more. Encouragement to drink water is also needed. My husband is recovering from surgery, so I can't be two places at the same time. About the care needs: Mom watches TV, mostly game shows, and some regular shows. She also likes listening to the music station on cable. She likes to talk to people but is having memory problems. She uses a walker and is mobile, but is hurting very badly from fall now. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, companionship, feeding, and bathing / dressing.
