Scheduled PSW visits for two seniors in apartment building

AD
Active: 16 Apr

Parents are 80 and 82 and just downsized into an apartment across from Lakeridge Health Oshawa. My father fell and fractured his hip 8 weeks ago, he's been home for two weeks. He has a walker, wheelchair, bed rail, raised toilet, and an evening commode. My mother is dealing with confusion due to the stress of the fall and relocation. She's afraid of elevators so doesn't leave the apartment alone. My father has two PSW visits / issued by Home and Community Care but we've noticed that most days only one visit happens. He wears an adult diaper overnight which is conducted by current assigned gov't PSW. We're looking to hire someone to conduct two home visits / per approximately 1 hour each visit. That is negotiable based on assessment. Primary needs we have assessed: Both: Meal prep and clean up, retrieve newspaper from lobby, laundry (in the building), assist with the television (they're adjusting to a Smart TV), hair washing (mom) or bed bathing (dad), assist transfer from walker to couch. - he can do but sometimes the walker gets away from him. Mother: hair washing, tea, mostly social, maybe take her into the lobby sitting area for coffee. Basically, she's lonely and not eating. Father: walking up and down the hallway with walker, bed bathing. Ideally we need someone who can commit to a time to visit - the current random visits are very upsetting to my mom. Groceries are currently being handled but that could be an option. It's a lot of strain on the family so we're looking to offset that with some reliable support. My mother has high anxiety, and finds this new situation very upsetting. She basically needs someone to prepare food, cleanup after, wash her hair, and chat. She has a very sweet cat so perhaps assist there too.
