Mom is 80 and has mild-moderate vascular dementia, a dropped foot, and peripheral neuropathy that causes her to walk with a walker.
We need a companion and caregiver who can help maintain her morning routine and then transport her to a day program where she will be for the day. The position includes light cooking and housekeeping.
She is in the stage of her dementia, where she is aware she is losing her functioning and is frustrated by that. As a result of this frustration, she occasionally has intense emotions, either deep sadness or anger that can sometimes spurt out at those around her.
Mom does best with confident, warm caregivers skilled with navigating confusion, re-directing, and not taking things personally.
