Hello! I am looking for a full time caregiver for my parents. My dad has been my mom's sole caregiver yet, he recently fell and broke his hip. While he is recovering and while we figure out long term care needs, we are looking for a caregiver who can assist my mom. Sharon has advanced dementia. She is mobile, a little wobbly, but can walk on her own. Yet, like most dementia patients, she has issues with bathing, personal hygiene and nutrition. Sharon is otherwise easy going. She loves to read, listen to upbeat music, watch children play or Disney movies. If you are enjoying caring for elder, please consider caring for Sharon.
Sharon usually wakes up in between 7-830 a.m.
Changes her clothes, brushes her teeth and washes her face. Sometimes Sharon will take a shower in the morning.
Has the same breakfast pretty much everyday day.
My caregiver now takes her on many outings once she's done with breakfast. They go on walks or go to the gardens
At 11 a.m. she goes to the senior center for lunch until 12/12:30.
Then she walks some more or goes to the library.
At 4/4:30 Sharon will have dinner then watches the news or whatever is on tv.
Around 6:30/7, she goes to bed. But she will use the restroom and brush her teeth before she sleeps. Once she's in bed, Sharon stays in bed through the majority of the night
Reading magazines
Watching polka
Listening to upbeat music like Christmas music
Watching movies with little kids like a Disney movie
We would prefer to work with someone with experience with advanced dementia. Some who understands the yelling and uncooperative mess at times.
