Hands-on Care Needed For My Mother In Palmyra

About the job

About who needs care: Mom has some dementia, some days are better than others. She has had diverticulitis flare ups in the past, so a healthy diet is important, including fruits, vegetables, salads, chicken, beef, etc. We want to make sure she is getting proper nutrition and hydration. She doesn't drink much without reminders and doesn't want to drink much, because then she has to go to the bathroom, she says. She will need someone to make lunch and dinner, currently they are eating out every evening for dinner. Mom likes to play Rummikub, and has played sometimes for hours a day, for years, but at times she forgets how to play or needs some reminders. Companionship is important. She is married, but he tends to leave frequently. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, companionship, feeding, and bathing / dressing.
