Seeking Full-time Senior Care Provider In Loris

About who needs care: My mother is 88 years old and lives independently. She still prepares her own meals and takes care of herself. She is a homebody and does not express interest in going out. Her short term memory is declining as well as her hearing (to a lesser degree). Presently, she would benefit most from increased socialization as she is staying in bed longer hours, into the afternoon. She is skilled in tatting (thread work similar to lace-making, which she still keeps nearby), and other crafts, cooking etc, though those activities have slowed down. Of her 5 children, 2 sons live w/in a half mile and check in with her daily (both work FT, one has 2nd & 3rd shift), and her 3 daughters come in from further away for visits, with increasing attention going to personal and home care. My mom enjoys conversation, playing cards, watching TV, and reading. She is known for being highly organized, but that is slipping as her condition worsens. An ideal day (first attempt at this, without input from siblings): Mom would meet with home caregiver late morning/mid day for lunch (meal prep), conversation (in home or on front/back porch), shared activities (card game, craftwork?) or watch TV), and then full or partial meal prep for dinner before caregiver departure About the care needs: My mom favors kind, even-tempered people who do not force their opinions or beliefs on her. At her core, she is a joyful and industrious person who enjoys balanced conversations about personal and local history. Patience and tolerance for repetitive conversation and high TV volume levels are probably the lifeblood of this industry, but I need to mention them - as they are also key.. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, and companionship.
