About who needs care: I am showing signs of early dementia. My current caregiver is moving out of state on June 29, so I would ideally like to find someone before that date. My most important things are taking my meds on time/correctly, getting transportation to/from my doctor appointments (mileage reimbursement available), managing finances/paying bills, and having a companion to do things with, as I am unable to leave my apartment without someone. I like to watch various TV shows, and sometimes go to fitness gym in Culpeper to use their pool for exercise. I typically am up around 6-6:30am, as I take my AM meds at 7 a.m. I would normally have someone come in around 9-10 a.m. to discuss needs for the day, and stay no later than 5 p.m. (or whatever else works for your schedule, I am flexible!) This does not have to be an everyday thing, but we can talk more about that! Please note, I am a smoker.
About the care needs: I'm pretty introverted, so someone more reserved and not loud would be my preference. Being motivated is great, especially since I tend to have low energy during the day if I am home by myself. Someone who can explain things so that I understand them is a must- I often don't catch what all my doctors say when I go to appointments, or I forget.
Services needed include: transportation, meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, and companionship.
