About who needs care: My mom recently had a knee replacement and after a few weeks rehab returned home. Once home, she had a fall and broke her femur, and returned to rehab. She is being discharged the same day of my dad's surgical procedure and he will be recovering in the house adjacent to their home. My mom can stand and stransfer independently, walk 100 feet with walker unassisted, eat, toilet and bathe independently. She needs help getting dressed. We are looking for somebody to live in for a few weeks to assist with any small things needed so she is not in the house alone. Its mostly for peace of mind. Light housecleaning, laundry would be appreciated. Caregiver will have thier own room, mom appreciates quiet/downtime- we just need somebody there in case she needs help. About the care needs: My mom is a bit particular in the way she likes things done. She is friendly, but you may get a complaint or two. Looking for somebody upbeat and jolly who can roll with any sarcastic comments lol. A highly compassionate and positive energy would be appreciated, sense of humor is a great way to keep my mom happy. Physically gentle with constant check ins with assisting with dressing, as she is recovering from femure fracture (see previous note she is basically indeoendent with walker). A person of faith might be helpful but not a must. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, and light housekeeping.
