$15 – $35/hr • Part time • Starts Apr 11 • Portland, OR
About who needs care: The primary issue is that she is waiting for hip replacement surgery and in the meantime is in a wheelchair and hasvery severe pain.
She also has limited vision in her left eye but is still able to read and see most things--especially in good lighting.
She loves to listen to audio books and to snuggle with her cat. She is always chatting with neighbors and spending time with family.
Right now she is focusing on coordinating her appointments and trying to manage her pain. Her ideal days include a visit from family, time on the back porch, some audio book listening, and some time on the phone with friends.
When she's feeling better she loves gardening, window shopping and playing scrabble.
About the care needs: The ideal caregiver would be positive and kind. My mom is a lot of fun and laughs easily. As far as specialized skills, my mom will need help transferring from her wheelchair to the bed, though she has been doing it herself consistently.
Bonus points for cat lovers!
Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, feeding, bathing / dressing, and mobility assistance. ... more
