[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom fell and needed assistance, but then kept it after she healed because she was starting to show symptoms of cognitive decline. Her helper ended up coming 5 days a week and did the following: light housekeeping (not cleaning, but dishes, tidying, etc), light meal prep, help with bathing (my mom was scared of falling), drove my mom to appointments (hair, doctor, shopping, cleaners, etc) and was a general companion and problem solver. My mom was living alone and she really liked having someone around to help and to chat with, she took took my mom on walks and facilitated social visits. It worked well until my mom needed more fulltime care and oversight. [/quote] Thanks so much, this is so helpful. My mother wants my father to do everything & he’s 85 and exhausted. [/quote]
