chimerastudio Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 We have just purchased a home and moved to Chapala Haciendas a few months ago. My husband is a quadriplegic and we are looking for a home healthcare assistant to help with his care several times a week. From friends, we have learned that training is available so there are qualified caregivers seeking employment. Our problem is how to connect, as we have had little response from the referrals we have been given. I appreciate completely that this is a very sought-after skill and that our location outside Ajijic and Chapala Central make it a travel issue. We are certainly open to fair compensation and enough paid hours to make the travel to Chapala Haciendas worth the effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natasha Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Have you tried Lidia's care service? I know several who use/have used her and are very satisfied. cell 333-156-9080 She has people with a wide range of talents / abilities. Also might check with Becky Arredondo --- she does a lot of other things for people, and may have a line on some qualified care people. cell 331-251-1907 Good luck! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rony Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Hi, I just sent you a list with about 200 local caregivers/nurses. It is not uptodate anymore, but quite possibly, there will be people among them who havent changed their phone number. If the person, that you call, is not able to do the job, ask him/her if he/she happens to know someone who is. Almost everybody knows everybody here (especially in Chapala). That will give you a better chance in finding the right person. When someone comes recommended, I added it to the name. Recommendations are key. Good luck, Rony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggiemae Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 You may also want to contact Nurse Josefina Contreras Mendoza at (cell) 331-115-9615 or josefina84@yahoo.com. She is a wonderful nurse who has a care-giving service as well as owning assisted living/rehab facilities. I highly recommend her. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REC Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 I second the recommendation for Lidia. I had heart surgery last year and she provided the nursing help I needed during my rather difficult recovery. One thing I really liked is that she stayed very involved - including visiting me at home to make sure everything was going well. She will coordinate everything and make sure you get the support you need - including any medical equipment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been more than pleased with the services Mina (Josefina) has provided us over several occasions from 24 hour care in home to providing someone to be with us in hospital.

Guiness Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Welcome to Chapala Haciendas! If you go to the Fracc Office and speak with our Fracc Manager David, he is very knowledgeable, is mexican, knows alot of "helping hands" in our own community. Speak with David first, he'll be able to direct you. Welcome to the neighborhood! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorothy Brown Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 My 78-year-old brother lives in Ajijic. He is in a wheelchair, has an enlarged heart, emphysema, and balance problems. He cannot walk. He needs someone to fix his meals, bathe him, and get his food/medication. I live in Omaha, Nebraska USA, so it is really difficult for me to be of any help. Can someone send me a current list of caregivers with their phone numbers. I can email this to my brother. Thank you in advance for your help.

lakeside7 Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 Whislt the orginal question is for home care, with the new posters and personel description of problems..would not going into a Assited living facility be more practical? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dencol Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 The original post is three years old, maybe you should start a new post. Maybe you could mention your brother's name as members on this forum might know him or have heard of him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thevalerieleigh Posted November 14, 2020 Report Share Posted November 14, 2020 After conducting interviews in the last 2 weeks for a friend in search of a care-taker, I am happy to share the information of two excellent candidates that did not get the job. We were fortunate to have interviewed many top-notch people for this position. Both seemed enthusiastic and eager to work. Antonio Villafan, 44 years old, has many certificates and references. 333-240-7745 Alex (Alejandro) Mercado Gamez, 45 years old, also with many recommendations and experience. 333-901-6912 I wish you luck in your search and hope you find the right person for your needs. Cheers! Val Jones 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
