About the job

About who needs care: Hi future home aide, my mom suffered two strokes in past couple of years and requires night time assistance. While she understands everything and is mentally sharp she lacks an ability to communicate what she wants verbally at times. She can walk only a little bit but needs help getting to her walker. She goes to bed around 7:30 p.m. but frequently wakes up and needs to use the commode. Most of the work will be helping her up out of bed to her commode and then helping to clean up if that's necessary. When my brother, who currently lives in the house with me and my mom, is unable to help prepare breakfast, this will be required as well. About the care needs: We are looking for someone who is very dependable, communicates well and able to work a night shift where my mom may need frequent help to go to the bathroom. They don't have to have nurse training but it would be ideal if they did and had some experience with being a home aide to the elderly. Services needed include: transportation, meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, feeding, bathing / dressing, and mobility assistance.
