About who needs care: My mom suffered a fall in December and she needs some assistance to promote her recovery. She is able to move around her apartment with the aid of a walker, but she does need someone who is by her side while doing so. My mom also needs help with meal prep as she cannot stand long enough to cook, as well some assistance getting back into bed when she needs to rest. About the care needs: The person best suited to helping my mom is someone who is gentle and patient. To put it another way, she needs a loving hand to help guide her recovery. For specialized skills, she would require someone who can assist in the bathroom. This means standing by the door and, if needed, helping her to pull up her underwear/diaper. In terms of hobbies, my mom loves to cook. However, because she is not strong enough at the moment to make her own meals, it would be helpful for her to engage in an activity that centers around cooking. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, companionship, feeding, bathing / dressing, and mobility assistance.
