About who needs care: Yes my mom has dementia. She would ideally structure her day with waking up in the morning and making her first meal of the day whether it be breakfast or lunch; Watching The view and or Sherry; and then doing something active like walking or going to the store. About the care needs: I think the person needs to be warm and fun. My mom loves storytelling and loves music. A specialized skill that they would need is patience due to the fact that she walks slow and has mobility issues with going up and down stairs outside of the house as well as curbs. I would say planning needs to be a skill set and organization. It's easier for my mom to run errands when she makes a list and that person can help her or go through it with her. That way she can stay focused on task. Services needed include: transportation, meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, companionship, and mobility assistance.
