About who needs care: Mom needs companionship and attention while Im working. She likes doing puzzles, playing cards, and watching shows like Everybody Loves Raymond, somebody Feed Phil, and old movies. Mom has cognitive challenges and can be very forgetful. (vascular dementia and possibly Alzheimers). Mom walks using a walker, has a good appetite and a cheerful attitude. She is very grateful for any assistance provided to her. She needs help with all ADLs. About the care needs: We would like someone who is very patient, kind and cheerful. Mom needs guidance in all activities and in decision making. It would be good for her to do more exercises, including stretching and maybe chair yoga. Moms bathroom is very small. She needs help toileting and showering (though I will do this most of the time). She needs help in/out of bed and chairs. Mom and I like to go to the CREC indoor track to walk and to Rocky Run YMCA to swim on occasion. If the caregiver likes to walk on a track and swim perhaps they could join us and help with mom. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, companionship, feeding, bathing / dressing, and mobility assistance.
