I am looking for a caregiver/companion for my mother who is suffering from dementia. She is 74 years of age and currently at St. Joseph's Hospital, West 5th Campus. All of her primary care needs are taken care of by hospital staff. What we require is a companion service. Someone who can talk with her. Hold her hand and walk with her. Redirect her if she is wandering off course. Listen to music. Brush her hair. Lightly rub her shoulders, watch over her while she cat naps. Rinse and repeat. She needs someone who can engage with her as a friend to help her pass the time and stay active. Applicant must also be able to deal with people tactfully, as my mother can become testy at times. Hospital staff will deal with that if necessary, however we are hoping to eliminate the need for that by having a one to one companion.
