Companion Care for the elderly?

Does elderly companion care exist in the city? I'm starting to wonder how I can get more involved.

I have worked in Memory Care as an activities aide and I loved it. But I don't have the capacity for a proper part time job right now. I know I could also volunteer at a nursing home or special care center, but I'm looking for something smaller. Like a one-on-one thing with one or two people. Maybe take someone for coffee once a week, or sit on the porch and work on a puzzle with someone.

I'm not certified or interested in personal care, just hanging out. Does that even exist here?

Looking for supportive sports bra - update and help still needed (36J)

Original post (looking for where to start): https://www.reddit.com/r/ABraThatFits/comments/1ubqz0o/

Update: Thank you. I am so much closer now! I tried both the 34JJ and 36J in the Elomi energize. But neither worked.

The 34JJ was way too small of a band. Couldn't clasp it around me. And I usually put bras on backwards and twist them around.

The 36J... Much better, but.. Photos here: https://postimg.cc/gallery/nqdM2DT

The band is tight but seems ok? Ok, it's very tight, but if I work at it for a bit I can clasp it behind my back. I can't spin it around. I'm worried if I go the next size up, it will be too loose?

At first, the cups were way too big. After scooping and jumping a bit, they fill out. But the straps are too long I think. I shortened them as much as I could but the front middle piece pushes out.

I actually do like this one, but it's still not doable as-is. Should I try a new company AND go up in band size? Or just new company?

Tight under bust: 88

Looking for supported sports bra- calculator suggested 36J. Have been in 40E (compression style)

Measurements (cm)

Loose under bust: 93

Snug under bust: 91

Tight under bust: 88

Standing bust: 121

Leaning bust: 132

Lying bust: 121

Suggested size: 36J or 34JJ

​

I know I'm in the wrong size. I've been wearing off-brand compression style sports bras for years as my only bra. But I'm running more and more lately and need more support. So I know I need to move to a cup style.

​

I'm currently looking at the Elomi energize underwire sports bra

​

Complications (I guess): I very much dislike my chest and would rather find a binder. Maybe if I get the right size I'll dislike it less?

What does improvement mean?

Apologies for the likely confusing and wandering text...

I just finished 30 rTMS sessions this week and had my follow up with the dr. She asked me if I saw any improvement and I didn't know how to answer. Granted I have alexithymia and struggle to identify emotions, but I didn't notice any changes, really. She said it would be apparent if it worked or not.

So did it not work? What does improvement mean? Was it all for nothing? Side note, I dealt with a lot of pain and it was the most stressful part of my day, every day.
