My 98 year old mother lives in an apartment incorporated into our house. We are looking for a companion/caregiver. She has moderate to severe dementia, but she still enjoys life (most of the time). She loves the blue sky and clouds and birds and trees. She likes to bat balloons back and forth with someone (sometimes for hours). She can usually dress herself. She eats on her own and does fine. She is starting to have some troubles with toileting, but mostly does OK. There are occasional messes to clean up. She has lost the ability to follow movies, so that's not a good activity anymore. She enjoys our dogs and sitting in the sunshine.

She is very Catholic, and goes to Mass every week. She no longer follows politics, for which we are grateful.

We are looking for someone to work on weekends and someone to work several morning shifts. Hours would be regular. We offer $25 per hour, either cash or with a 1099. If we have to cancel some hours, we pay for them anyway. We are good employers.

Mom is still witty, loves chocolate and wine, and is usually chipper. If you are interested, please email me at [email protected] Thank you.
