About who needs care: Has high blood pressure, hip/knee/back pain, mobility issues; extremely independent; loves to watch reality TV shows, judge shows; likes to sit in open garage and enjoy fresh air/chats with neighbors; likes occasional car ride to Weis/Dollar General; is a morning person, big fan of coffee and a coffee creamer expert; takes periodic naps throughout day. Summary: a feisty, very loved parent/friend/neighbor who needs more help than she wants to admit. About the care needs: We need someone who will not always take no for an answer, who is good at persuasion. Mom will say that "she's ok" or "she can do it," but often needs help with some tasks. She is mentally quite sharp, but is stubborn about accepting help. She can do some things, but she also needs assistance. Even when she initially declines help, she usually thanks the person after they complete the assistance. No specific hobbies/interests are needed. A good conversationalist would be good. A person who help her with some personal care tasks, and do some prep for small meals and other house tasks. Thank you. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, companionship, feeding, bathing / dressing, and mobility assistance.
