About the job

THE TIMES ARE VERY FLEXIBLE JUST A FEW HOURS A DAY A FEW DAYS A WEEK Hello! Looking for more of companion care for my mother who is 69 years old. She is in the beginning stages of memory loss and due to my work schedule I need help! I would like some assistance with keeping her mobile as she loves to just sit on the couch all day and watch TV so maybe going for a walk every visit if the weather permits. Also some light food shopping once in a while and possibly warming up a meal for her. Approximately 75% of the time a car with be available to take her to places. We do have 5 very friendly very "mind to themselves" cats incase of any allergies. I look forward to hearing from you! She has no set wake up time, normally she's out of bed by 9/10 a.m. then goes straight to the couch, nibbles on some breakfast, some lunch, then maybe eats dinner around 5/6 p.m. She eats like a bird. I would love to add some sort of activity even if it's just going for a walk during the day. Since her memory isn't the greatest anymore, she doesn't have hobbies. She used to love doing puzzles and crosswords. If you have any medical experience that's wonderful but not mandatory. She is stubborn and says she doesn't need any home health aide so we are looking more for a "companion caregiver". Please be sociable, understanding, and of course kind. We live in a 55+ community in a cul-de-sac so there are parking spots. Unknown if public transport is allowed inside the community as it is a gated community. We have 5 cats that are very affectionate if wanted but will also leave you be.
