She gets around fine with a walking stick. She likes to walk outside but is nervous about uneven surfaces and falling. She has back problems such as her back getting tired and spazing if she is on her feet for too long. Our Mom is not a social butterfly and prefers to be by herself, but we are feeling uneasy about her eating and fluid intake and making sure she feels comfortable. She often says she is confused and doesn't know why. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, and light housekeeping.
