About who needs care: My mother has metastatic breast cancer with that has recently metastasized to her brain and spine. She recently underwent 10 days of whole brain radiation, 10 days of proton spine radiation, and a new to her chemo (enhertu). My dad is with her full-time but needs help being a caregiver. I am here often but in and out. I am looking for someone who will provide assistance with daily activities as well as bond with her and engage her in conversation. She has a lot of aphasia from both her cancer and the treatment, but the more she engages the better it gets. About the care needs: She is a very positive and generally happy person. She loves to cook and talk about her favorite restaurants. My hope is that she will become well enough to cook again. Her physical therapist has implemented a lot of activities within the kitchen to help her. She has drop foot on her left side and uses a walker to get around the house. She is having trouble bathing herself and mostly does a kind of sponge bath, but wont let me or my father help. does best with people who are gentle and kind when asking her to do things. She is very independent and is not always good at expressing her needs or how she is feeling. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, companionship, feeding, bathing / dressing, and mobility assistance.
