Duties include administering medication, getting her clothes changed when wet in which she might become combative, but it is over in 5 mins. making a salad, cutting up fruit for snacks, light housework to make sure kitchen, dining area and bathroom are swept and clean and some laundry. . Prompting her to wash her hands, brush her teeth and most importantly keep her company by TALKING with her about your day or what is happening on the tv. She likes watching news on MSNBC or watching Elvis. She has dementia so every other day she is either friendly or grumpy. So, lots of patience and persistence. We can adjust the times if needed.
