WANTED URGENTLY, Female, non smoker, cheerful carer for elderly post hip replacement lady

My 94 year old , alert, weightbearing and walking Mother is due to come out from residential care post surgical recovery on Wednesday28th January and the carer we had employed has just had an accident and is now unable to support her for the next week at least. My mother needs support to wash, dress, apply medicated skin cream to trunk, arms and legs for treatment of an ongoing skin condition. She does not require help to toilet. Unfortunately she contracted pneumonia in hospital and has required post operative recovery care. She has regained her mobility but is weak from pneumonia, energy levels limited. Breakfast may need to be made for her initially. She also needs sandwiches made ready for her lunch, help to load/unload the dishwasher and washing machine. She has a regular cleaner for her home. Due to her sensitive skin condition, disposable gloves (supplied) will need to be worn to make her food and support washing and creaming skin. Her skin is fragile due to prescibed steroids, so no rings to be worn when you are caring for Mum (as per hospital care requirements) except plain wedding bands please. We require a non smoker from a smoke free home as she does not like the smell of vpes and cigarettes . She is keen to become as independent as quickly as possible, but as she lives alone she needs initial support to become competent and confident again. She needs up to an hour personal care in the morning (any time between 7.30 to 10) and possibly 30 mins (anytime between 4.30 and 6pm) to support her in regaining competence to microwave ready cooked meals. Mornings required are Tuesday to Saturday currently, evening sessions, any you could supply. It may sound complicated requirements, but they are not difficult, and will keep her safe. I hope this sounds a position you will enjoy as her personal care requirements are relatively small.Please contact me to discuss any hours you could cover. Many thanks.
