About who needs care: My mom has suffered and continues to suffer from strokes as well as heart issues. Those are her two main healthissues. Since her last known stroke in May, she needs assistance walking, going to the bathroom, showering, someone to talk to, cooking meals I provide, and housekeeping, as I work full time.
Her hobbies are hard right now, she cant concentrate on anything very well right now but likes having my someone to listen and agree with her. She is very kind and sarcastic.
Depending on the shift, essentially:
Waking her up
Giving her medications patiently
Taking her to the bathroom
Breakfast
Showers a few times a week
Teeth brushing
Follow her around for walks to gain strength
Lunch
Cleaning (dishes, vacuum, mop, laundry, bathroom, shower, etc.)
Dinner
Night meds
Putting to bed
There are some times I would need someone for weekends, which is essentially the same schedule. Im sure Im missing something, but this is what I can think of now. I will take care of managing medications.
