About who needs care: Need social interaction, encouragement to eat, help bathing or self care, reminder to take medication. Some dementia. Help putting away groceries, maybe with cooking and doing dishes. I have hired a separate housekeeper who comes 2x per month, usually every other Thursday.
About the care needs: Lots of patience, easy to talk to, non-judgmental, with a cheery personality. Good listener. Encourager who knows how to make others feel they have control of their life. I have not been able to get my sister out and about for several years now, especially since COVID hit. She doesn't want to go to the Dr or get shots, so she makes herself ill with angst before any appointments I have tried to take her to. She has not had her COVID or any other shots. Okay to take her for a ride, but not to put her into social situations until she has at least some protection. Other help needed - Help True get ready for Dr. Appts for me to pick her up and take her.
Services needed include: companionship, feeding, and bathing / dressing.
