87NereydaCuesta Asked August 2016

Where to find someone to come each day for about six or seven hours to watch over my mother?

I will be in the hospital for six days to have back surgery. My husband will be visiting me each day while I'm at the hospital. My is 87 years old with mild Dementia and speaks mostly Spanish but can handle English. She needs someone to watch over her during the day from about 11:00am to around 7:00pm and to make sure she is set in her bedroom for the evening. My husband will make sure she is settled every morning before he leaves and he will return each night after she is in bed. My surgery is scheduled for Tuesday, 8/30/16 and I will stay until 9/4 or 9/5/16. Please let me know as soon as possible if you have someone who can care for my mother or if two people can alternate.

08/24/16.... 87NereydaCuesta, you can Google "home care [your zip code]". I used Home Instead which worked out really great, but they do need a few days notice prior to sending out someone. They will come out to your Mom's house [with you there] and interview Mom, look over her house to make sure everything looks safe, and in the mean time you can interview the Agency. Ask if they have any bi-lingual caregivers.

... If it were only that easy.

To find home care, use the blue box and enter your zipcode. There are several agencies in your area. You might also consider Assisted Living for her for a month. That will give you time to recover and rehab.
