About who needs care: I am power of attorney for Mom. She has Alzheimer's disease, but no challenging behaviours. She is a charming and kind person, with excellent social skills. She has a compressed vertebrae (T10) so has backache, but gets around without a walking frame, even to the grocery store in her local area. She has limited use of her left hand (she is right-handed) due to nerve damage from cancer years ago. She can use the left arm well. She has written two books, and was a junior highschool counsellor. She does not like to be treated like a child, and wants to feel she has a voice and choice. She is sensitive and has great 'theory of mind' so gets offended if someone makes fun of her or acts unkind. In all, Mom is a delight and lovely to be with. About the care needs: Outgoing and funny, able to treat Mom like a friend rather than bossing her around in her own home -- she definitely wouldn't like that. A female is probably a better fit. Non-smoker. Artistic and slightly quirky would suit well. Services needed include: transportation, meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, companionship, feeding, and bathing / dressing.
