Assisted Mrs Johnston with bathing and grooming shampooed and styled her hair. Help to reminded her to do daily oral care and shower assistance. I did basic food preparation from grocery shopping to actually preparing the food, made sure she was getting proper nutrition. We both loved home grown tomatoes so I got her interested in going outside and some days we went for short walks when she was feeling up to it. Light housekeeping like sweep, vacuum, dishes and laundry. She would love to help me fold them. I definitely enjoyed her company as she did mine.
