We are seeking a calm, patient and caring person to assist with a shower, dressing, nail care, and simple grooming tasks weekly. Our mom alternates her time monthly between two households. She is learning to cope with a loss of independence. She is ambulatory, feeds herself, and can dress herself, but help with dressing may be welcome.
She is never left alone, but due to our own age and limitations, we need help with showers and basic grooming weekly.
Our mom is extremely deaf, and functions with only minimal hearing, and relies on lip reading and written communication. She gets frustrated easily. Her short term memory is not good, so repetitive routines are comforting
She likes movies on TV,. Midsummer Murders is a favorite TV show, She loves dogs. She is a rabid Democrat, so if you are not, avoid politics!
A clear voice that carries well is important. Patience is extremely important. A gentle hand is appreciated.
Our family includes three small dogs who will bark as you enter, but quickly settle down. There will
be at least one adult at home, so the pets should not be of great concern.
