Companion Care Needed For My Mother In Seattle

About the job

About who needs care: My mom is a sweet and pleasant lady with some memory problems. It is hard for her to complete tasks like cooking and cleaning, but she does like to help and can accomplish some things when prompted like rinsing a dish or putting leftovers away in the fridge. My mom requires medication twice a day, at breakfast and at dinner, and this needs to be prepared for her. She enjoys art, music and crafts. About the care needs: My mom gets along easily with anyone, but I think a cheerful, outgoing personality would be the best fit for her. She does best with someone who's a good conversationalist and someone who has a great deal of patience. My mom has trouble understanding things sometimes so needs someone to explain to her what's happening or what's about to happen, what will happen later, etc. She doesn't require specialized skills. My mom is artistic and would do well with someone who is also artistic, though that isn't a requirement. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, and companionship.
