Has anyone hired a virtual assistant to help support an aging parent?

I’m trying to figure out a sustainable way to support my mom from a distance, and I’m considering hiring a virtual assistant. I have been spending about 15 to 20 hours per week supporting her while working part-time. Pretty soon I will be starting a full-time job and will need support.

What I’m thinking is someone who would:

• Call her every morning to check in (how she’s feeling, how she slept, etc.)
• Ask if she needs anything and keep a shared shopping list
• Remind her about appointments
• Send me a quick summary after each call
• Be available occasionally if she has a non-urgent concern

Important context: this would be non-medical.

Has anyone done something like this? I'm specifically interested in anyone who may have used a VPA (virtual personal assistant) vs. something more local.

Thanks!
