Our mother is 90 years old and has advanced Alzheimer’s. She has a happy, easygoing personality and enjoys being around people. She is mobile and uses an indoor walker, but she does need assistance when using the bathroom. We have a bidet in the bathroom, which helps make this process easier. She does wear protective briefs and may occasionally need assistance with incontinence care and cleanup.
We are a household of five: myself, my sister, my daughter, and my son-in-law, and we all help care for her together in our home. We also have three small dogs and five cats. The dogs are very friendly but tend to bark enthusiastically when someone first arrives. They usually calm down after a little while.
We are looking for a kind, patient, and compassionate person who can occasionally spend time with our mother and keep her company while we step out for an evening from time to time. We would love to find someone who is comfortable around pets and enjoys spending time with seniors.
