My mom is 87 years old, who lives in her own apartment in Summerland. She has an ongoing visual impairment called Macular Degeneration that makes it hard for her to see well. She is fit and healthy and loves to walk and talk and excercise, but slightly accident prone, and occasionally has accidents tripping on things. She has recently broken her elbow when she tripped last weekend on a curb, and had to have surgery on her elbow. This will take several weeks for her to recover, and she is uncomfortable and needs help. We are currently helping her as friends and family, but we need extra support. This incident is one of many incidents that has happened and continues to happen repeatedly due to her vision issues. As a family, we would like her to continue to live independently, but we are busy with our own kids and work, without much extra support. Ideally the person who works for her is more of a companion who likes to talk and spend time with her. She needs help with little things, like cooking or cleaning her fridge, occasional doctors appointments in Penticton. Small projects around the house sometimes need help as well, like changing a light bulb, or figuring out the dishwasher settings. She is showing early signs of dementia, "sundowners" in the evenings here and there, depending on how she is feeling. During the daytime, it is not noticeable, and only obvious as "sundowners" in the evenings to people who know her well.
