Voir dire Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 Your last post was asking for international movers. Did you decide not to move? Perhaps you need to check out assisted living arrangements. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiko Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 I suggest you ask a trusted neighbor. You may be surprised how caring and helpful your Mexican neighbor on your street will be. Mexicans know that their govt will not help them so they depend upon each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jreboll Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 kiko is right. Just say “next time you go to el mercado could you buy something for me?” And then explain why you can’t go. Neighbors are always glad to help others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibarra Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 Zeb has made it clear she needs more than the occasional trip to a store by a neighbor. She needs someone to cook on a regular basis and provide other services as needed. She, IMO, is asking for an employee, not a volunteer. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but this is not what I asked for. You do not know my circumstances and what I requested is what will work for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibarra Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 There was one suggestion in the post - Nurse/Caregiver needed. Also in that thread someone suggested contacting the assisted living places to see if they know of anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My next door neighbor was in need of extensive care in upper Ajijic back in 2012. There were three unmarried Mexican sisters across the street who managed his needs for about a year. Forunately they could walk to restaurants, Ajijic Clinica, and Farmacia Guadalajara. Driving required the help of another family member. They were paid as much as the elderly expat could afford. The financial compensation was reasonable at the time. Eventually his health deteriorated with dementia and he was moved to a nursing home. A year ago, a single expat who lived next door to the sisters had a stroke. The sisters have helped her a lot during her recovery. There are options for some. YMMV. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always find talking with my maid helps find all kind of help, but it sounds that you also need someone who can drive, good luck in finding this treasure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artsnob Posted January 12, 2023 Report Share Posted January 12, 2023 Where are you located, if near to me I will ask. my person if they can help you too...I will talk to my Treasure and see if one of her family can help... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEWMtnMama Posted January 12, 2023 Report Share Posted January 12, 2023 You may have already done this, but you need to evaluate how often you need this individual. Do you need all meals cooked or just dinner? Can you do the driving and have them help with the shopping and errands or do you need them to drive and do the errands by themselves? Could someone come once or twice a week, go shopping and then prepare enough meals to be frozen for the rest of the week? Just some things to think about.
