About who needs care: L has ALZ, but is still capable of doing ADL, incl. personal hygiene, dressing, making a meal, & so on, when directed. She really used to like walking around the neighborhood, & I'm unable to do that due to a medical issue. Going for a walk with her, even giving me an hour initially, would give me time to do administrative & other tasks About the care needs: L is generally funny & charming with strangers, although she may struggle with words & will repeat herself. She's a good walker (she also generally does a treadmill at home). She loves seeing dogs when she's out. A caregiver should be comfortable walking for a couple of miles at a brisk pace with neighborhood hills Services needed include: companionship.
Companionship
