About the care needs: My mother is primary caregiver but situation is exhausting her because she is elderly and the routine often falls apart which creates more work.
Looking for someone caring and patient who is experienced in dealing with someone elderly who is still quite with it while their body is failing.

Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, feeding, bathing / dressing, and mobility assistance. ... more
