On November 7, 2022 my father, who fought to the very end, died from brain cancer. He was my mom's primary caregiver and support. Now that he has passed, I have taken over my mom's care. My mom, who has early onset dementia, is an able-bodied person who can do everything for herself - with some prompting. Our main concern is that she requires gentle supervision - someone to keep an eye on her and ensure that she is eating, taking her medication, and watching out for her general well being and safety. While my mom is social and loves to make people laugh, she also does not like to be doted on 24/7. She appreciates her alone time and really does not appreciate being told what to do, but rather encouraged to do things. She is very lonely after losing my dad. We recently moved her to a retirement home in Cambridge in March and are looking for some additional support for her. She spends most of her days alone in her room, which has had a major toll on her mental health and memory. The ideal person for this will be someone who has an understanding of dementia and what to look out for. The ideal person will also be someone with good communication skills, patience, and a good sense of humor. My mom mainly needs someone to check in in her, hang out and watch a show, go outside, encourage her to eat, and feed the cat. If this is of interest, please connect with me and we can chat more.
