About who needs care: My mom has stage 4 breast cancer that has metastasized to the bone. Her ideal day includes a shower in the morning or early afternoon, a ride around the neighborhood, food shopping or getting her nails done, simple things. A caregiver would ideally make sure she had food prep for all 3 meals a day. She needs some help remembering her medication regiment. She doesn't have many hobbies at the moment, but I'm sure she would like to have some.
About the care needs: Someone patient and kind would be a good fit. She's depressed given the circumstances, so someone who is a bit of a go getter and will get her up and moving and distracted would be great. In terms of special skills, patience! She's slower to get to things, and she isn't super solid on her feet, so skills with regards to keeping her safe from falls/etc. I think watching tv, or going to the movies would be nice. Someone who can keep her moving.
Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, companionship, feeding, bathing / dressing, and mobility assistance.
