About who needs care: My mom is 81 with a lot of health issues. She has dementia, heart failure, COPD, arthritis. She is on oxygen 24/7 and uses a walker as she is a fall risk. She does large print puzzle books to try and keep her brain active and she enjoys watching Christmas movies. About the care needs: My mom would feel most comfortable with a female. Someone nice and calming would be a good fit. Her memory really depends on the day. Some days are good and she is more herself, other days not so much. She can have periods of confusion, frustration, sadness. She can get snippy at times, but that tends to be more in the evenings. We are looking for someone to be here with her when we are gone. Make sure she remembers her walker, her oxygen tubing, make her tea, maybe some dinner. Mom loves children and pets. We have 2 small dogs that keep her company. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, and companionship.
