Thank you for your responses. We are going to wait until November before hiring anyone. About who needs care: Mom has dementia. Also has a thyroid condition that makes her sleepy. We are working with an endocrinologist to get that straightened out. Her ideal day is to sleep in, eat breakfast, take a nap. She is most active in the afternoon and evening.
About the care needs: A nice person is all. My mom is very sweet.
Services needed include: transportation, meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, companionship, feeding, and bathing / dressing.
