About who needs care: My sister is recovering from a recent hospital stay in which she was bedridden for several weeks and lost a lot of weight, resulting in limited mobility. She needs help standing, using the bathroom, dressing, having meals prepared, and taking scheduled medications (including insulin shots). I have a more detailed schedule I can share. My sister enjoys listening to music, dancing, games (such as Uno or Dominoes), reading, and watching TV/movies. She also has spent a lot of time traveling and loves to talk about travel.
About the care needs: I am looking for a caregiver that is kind, patient, and has a sense of humor (my sister is a big joker!). The ideal caregiver should be able to assist in lifting roughly 90 pounds - my sister is regaining mobility but some moments she is very weak and needs someone to essentially lift her from couch/bed to her walker. The ideal caregiver should also have a high attention to detail and be comfortable documenting medications and activities.
Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, companionship, feeding, bathing / dressing, and mobility assistance.
