About who needs care: My Nana and Papa are in their 80s still living at home. Nana ( Marjorie) has dementia. She is truly a joy and very sweet but sometimes stubborn and resistant to showers and morning routine. My Papa (Clay) is struggling to get good sleep due to her early morning nature and it is becoming very taxing on him. Some duties include giving her medication, making her breakfast / coffee, assisting with restroom use ( she does occasionally have accidents but wears depends), she enjoys going for walks and moves around ok but certainly needs supervision. Generally its just assisting with her morning so that he may get the required rest so he can handle the day and night. Hospice does come to the house a few days a week. About the care needs: We are seeking a woman to assist with these needs and she should have experience with dementia patients. My grandparents are very conservative politically and that would be a very frequent topic of conversation. Services needed include: feeding, and bathing / dressing.
