About the job

About who needs care: Our mom is recovering from a brain aneurysm burst and hip surgery, she has residual cognitive deficits and strength deficits on her left side. We usually wake her up around 9 AM, taken to the bathroom first thing Then we give her breakfast and her medications. Then do different activities throughout the day (PT with hand weights, listening to podcasts, sitting/TV, some napping, walking/laps around house with walker, going outside for fresh air/sun). She needs to be taken to the bathroom every 2 hours because she is working on her toileting/incontinence. Lunch is around 1-2 p.m. and Dinner around 7 p.m. Meds with dinner, and then bed around 9 p.m. (brush teeth, wash face) About the care needs: We need someone who is kind but will push our mom to be active and not just sitting/napping all day. She needs to sleep for her brain recovery, but it's also important for her to be moving/strengthening her body for her hip recovery as well as just general physical recovery and balance for safety. Services needed include: companionship, feeding, bathing / dressing, and mobility assistance.
