About who needs care: A number of underlying conditions but he's mobile and can dress, bathe, and feed himself without issue. He's losing muscle mass and does no exercise. He's becoming forgetful (goes to appointments on the wrong day or time). I worry about his driving ability (poor eyesight). He's independent and two sons are remote. Looking for someone to prepare healthy meals, check on him, take him to doctor appointments, remind him of things, and help organize systems to help him remember what to do on what days. He mostly watches TV and messes around on the computer. He needs to go for walks. About the care needs: He can be a bit ornery at times as he is independent, but he is acknowledging more recently that he needs help. So I would recommend a person with a "high tolerance" and what will go a long way is to involve him in the decision making, and to be a good listener (and allow for time for him to answer, so patience). A person who is directive or scolding or condescending will not last a week. Services needed include: transportation, meal preparation, errands / shopping, and light housekeeping.
