About the job

About who needs care: She is 88, has had two brain aneurysm repairs, most recently March of 2025 and a traumatic brain injury about a decade ago. She also had a UTI which she was hospitalized for May 1st. She sleeps with a PureWick system at night and uses Depends during the day to deal with incontenence. Her ideal day is to rise between 7 - 9 am, eat a banana, chocolate Ensure and a breakfast bread. Take morning medications then sit on the screened in porch or watch her hummingbirds from a chair in her room. Watch TV or do puzzles. Eat a light lunch then nap. She will sit in the kitchen / dining area while I cook dinner. She eats at the table with us. She walks around the first floor of the house to get a little exercise. She uses a cane in the house and an upright walker when we go out. She is a fall risk due to age and she takes two blood thinners. About 9:00 p.m. she starts preparing for bed. She takes her evening medications and uses the bathroom, brushes her teeth, then gets in bed. I place the PureWick so she does not need to get up in the night to use the bathroom. She wears an emergency call necklace at home. About the care needs: A compassionate friendly professional that is attentive and honest. The only skill needed would be how to prevent falls, using a PureWick system - easy! Must love pets and hopefully not be allergic to cats or dogs. One cat and two dogs in our home. Hobbies or interests could include gardening, pets, Bible. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, feeding, and bathing / dressing.
