About who needs care: My grandmother has RA and has trouble mostly when sitting/getting up. She needs help around house since she cant get to cleaning her house. Her entire life was cleaning others houses, and now we just want her to feel comfortable in her own home. She likes finger foods and light meals/fresh snacks! She speaks Spanish but can understand simple english. She loves going outside and growing flowers (which she hasnt done), having conversations, and puzzles/word searches. Has no routine which would be nice to give her one, loves to be busy! She gets a little shy when she needs help in the bathroom/privacy. Bad days are when her pains are too bad, she can get irritable or she gets sad and cries without wanting to eat. My grandfather does live in house with her, but she enjoys female energy! About the care needs: We would love someone who can speak Spanish! Must be patient and kind, helps with meals, maybe even quick food preps. Willing to be hands on with washing (dishes/clothes) and cleaning living space. Attentive and fun conversations are encouraged. Someone who doesnt mind going on walks outside, perhaps you have a green thumb too! Strong enough to help hold her if she trips or falls. She is 5 feet and about 180 lbs (could be less). Compassionate, calm and understanding when she gets in her feelings. A woman would make her more comfortable for her personal hygiene/ privacy, but willing to give male caregiver a chance! She sometimes cant make it to toilet and urinates when she sleeps or has been sitting too long. But mostly a pain problem since she cant just get up and go fast enough. Looking for at least 2-3 hours M-F. Services needed include: transportation, meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, companionship, feeding, and bathing / dressing.
