Companion Care Needed For My Mother In La Mesa

About the job

About who needs care: Mom has Alzheimer's disease, and her short-term memory has gotten very bad in the past few months. She likes to walk by Lake Murray, but needs to build up her energy levels, and also likes watching tennis and game shows on TV. We are looking for someone who can cook/prep meals for her, and more importantly, make sure that she eats, drinks water/fluids, and takes her medicine. Additionally, being a companion to her would be great as her activity level is low, and she's depressed about her condition (she's aware that her memory is not working). Her friends and family will also come by to visit her, and help as necessary. Happy to discuss additional details on call or initial consultation. About the care needs: Ideally a female caregiver, and if she happens to speak Farsi (Persian), then even better, but not a requirement. The caregiver needs to be patient and empathetic, and have experience taking care of older clients with Alzheimer's/Dementia, as my mom's short-term memory is really bad. She needs to be reminded and prodded into doing things. Also, it's super important that the caregiver has her own transportation and is social and kind by nature. Services needed include: transportation, meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, and companionship.
