About the job

About who needs care: We are just needing some help with our 86 yr old mother. We have a few caregivers now but like to have a back up and possible recurring (2 ish days per week possibly 8-12 hrs each day). It is mainly helping her around house with light house keeping , light meal prep, showers, taking her to her gym and other appts. and just being with her as a companion as well. About the care needs: Easy going and calming type person. Experience with showering and just common sense in how to assist and communicate with an elderly person. This is a little different in that her house is very clean but she likes a lot of things done around house that she cannot do (bending over etc). It is almost more of help with that rather than helping her as she is very independent but someone who doesn't hover but is there. Someone who just notices things that may need to be done and not just sitting and looking on phone. She likes someone nearby as she sometimes is not very stable on her feet so needs help getting up out of her chair and bed. She uses a walker but not all the time. Services needed include: transportation, meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, companionship, feeding, and bathing / dressing.
