About who needs care: She's in home hospice. She's on oxygen 24 hours a day. She has hospice aides come in twice a week to help her bath and light housekeeping. She needs someone to prepare her lunch and dinner. No help is needed with eating or going to the restroom. She doesn't need a nurse, she just needs someone there just in case she needs help. She has a guardian call button. My brother and I both work full time, but one of us is there every evening and we pop over during the day. So what her needs are right now is basically a companion. Also, she sleeps a lot and has a DNR-CC. When she gets worse, we'll put her in a hospice facility, but right now she wants to be in her own home. Oh, she also has a kitty named Gracie. About the care needs: Well, they need to like kitties. She likes to read and was an avid gardener. She doesn't watch much TV. When she does she likes Turner Classic Movie channel. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, and companionship.
