About who needs care: Alzheimer's, arthritic knees. She panics when alone. I HAVE to work. I have cameras that I keep watch on her during my work day, but if I'm with a patient and can't immediately respond, she escalates to a full blown panic attack. About the care needs: Just someone soft and gentle (she's a very emotionally sensitive person, even prior to this disease) whom understands Alzheimer's/dementia. Someone who can roll with the random way she tries to express herself and create a positive environment for her while my husband and I work and my 9 yr old is at school. She loves warmth, (especially a fire in our fireplace), music, her comfy clothes, and blankie. She's addicted to diet coke and her subway sandwich and gets combative if denied. Mostly just need somebody to keep her company, feed her, and remind her where her bathroom is. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, companionship, feeding, and bathing / dressing.
