My mom can get very lonely even though me and my wife are with her 90 percent of the time but we also have to live our lives and the age diffrence is tough, I noticed when she had a nurse coming nto check on her afteran operation she was so so happy just to mhave someone to talk to for maybe a half hour or so, so thats what I looking for but she needs NO NURSE she is mentally fine and can hold a conversation but she needs her own age and it's tough for me to get her out because of her illness and walking disabilities, thank you
And I hate to bash on another healthcare agency but years ago when I got into private duty I interviewed for a nursing position with Visiting Angels. My interview went well, took about 1/2 hour and at the end of that time they wanted to send me to a client's home right then. That minute. They hadn't checked my references, checked my license, or conducted any background check. I turned the job down and was appalled that they would consider hiring me without vetting me first.
Good luck in your search. I'm confident that you'll find someone appropriate to visit with your mom.
Another idea is a local church. Some may have visiting senior programs where church members visit the homebound. And I've read about companies that will call seniors as companionship. Maybe asking your local Area Agency on Aging or Googling these will help you find something.
