Are there caregivers in Westchester county that speak Italian? My mom has trouble with English and I need some help at home. Any advice?

Westchester in like PA. If so, I live across the river in NJ.

Does Mom have Dementia, if so she will go back to her first language. Saw it in Moms NH. A lady had owned a local restaurant and now cannot speak English.

I find with Italians (2 Italian Aunts) the first generation maybe able to speak it but the second are not taught. None of my cousins speak it. It may be hard finding someone. As suggested, start with a Catholic Church. Office of Aging maybe able to help.

If you have wi fi. Then your caregiver can use the Google translate app
Ootherwise you have to call around or advertise on your own

I would call these folks (my home town)

They might know someone who knows someone.

Call Catholic Charities of Westchester and the Atra Agency on Aging for the County as well.

Or find a really good translation program to give for the caregivers use.

I used one for my Spanish speaking employees and we all managed fine.
