I am looking for caregivers to take care of my Mom. She is currently at a care home in West Kelowna. She has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Mom is physically healthy and active, able to get around with no assistance what so ever. She loves doing chair yoga, walking and socializing. She is able to carry on conversations with no problem. Mom is having problems with everyday task such as needing assistance with getting dressed, making her bed, cleaning, laundry, taking medications and blood pressure.
I am looking for caregivers to help mom out 7-days a week (e.g. 2 caregiver 2-days a week, 1 caregiver 3 days a week) between 4-8 hours a day, starting in the morning till the afternoon.
She is in a one bedroom apartment which is easy to keep tidy. The caregiver will not have be with Mom the whole time as she is able to get around the facility her self to go to different activities and for lunch and dinner.
A sample of a day with my Mom.
Meet her in the morning help her with breakfast which is toast and coffee.
Help her get dressed for the day.
Go through the daily activities with mom for the day.
Remind her to go to the different activities such as chair yoga, social hour, games, puzzles or aqua classes they have a swimming pool onsite.
Remind her to go for lunch at the dining room.
Go for a walk.
Make her bed, tidy up apartment, take out garbage which is next to her apartment.
Do laundry not everyday.
Go on shuttle with her once a week to do grocery shopping.
Remind her visitors stopping in. Mom sister, brother, niece and grand daughter live in West Kelowna and drop in for a visit.
This is just a sample of the day just to show that it isn't full on care it is assistance with daily activities.
Once Mom needs more assistance we will be moving her to another facility that can provide the proper care for her.
I am able to answer any other questions by email but prefer to discuss over the phone.
