Caretaking is hard work! At one point in my life I worked at a nursing home, but I did not have the hardest job there by far - that is the CNA (certified nursing assistant). They're the ones helping people up and to shower and change adult diapers and dress and all of the difficult, and to many patients, the embarrassing, personal, kind of tasks. I salute anyone who can do that work, and they are NOT paid enough.
What about a part-time caretaker? Like you have a housekeeper that comes a couple of times a week, maybe a caretaker could too? That is definitely a thing here, I don't know if it is there so much.
We do have ladies working as carers but they mostly do it as a permanent job, I will try to find out about someone part-time if things get more difficult. Caring for the elderly as a career takes a special kind of person, I salute you for having worked in that field!
Thank you for the practical advice @ phoenixwren🤗
