Part Time
Seeking care for my mother in her 90s. Services needed: companionship, feeding, meal preparation, medication prompting, mobility assistance. Looking for someone with 3+ years of experience caring for seniors. Specialized care needs: support for chronic illness, nursing experience. Female caregiver preferred. A little more about my mother: she can be lethargic, pleasant, reserved. Mom had a major stroke 3 1/2 years ago. She is bedridden, but I use a sliding board to get her into her wheelchair for meals and for outings. I'm looking for someone who is patient, quiet, strong, fond of pets. I would like someone patient and kind to take care of my wonderful mother to give me a day off during the week to do yard-work, house cleaning, etc. It would be awesome if the caregiver had experience with transferring patients from bed to wheelchair. Mom lives with us in her own private suite with bedroom, bath and kitchenette. She can talk and carry on pleasant conversation. She is a little hard of hearing. She is totally dependent on us and needs full time care. She can feed herself but at times needs prompting. She has short term memory deficits.
