About who needs care: My dad is 80 years old and has dementia, so needs frequent reminders, but he responds well to calm, clear direction. He is had a stroke, which left him with partial paralysis on his left side, and he uses a wheelchair. He is also incontinent, but he is still able to do some things on his own when guided, he just needs a lot of encouragement and step-by-step instruction. He used to be very independent, so sometimes he can be resistant or slow to move, but a firm but kind approach usually works best. He has a morning routine that helps him stay focused, and we'd like to keep that consistent. Patience, respect, and good energy go a long way with him." About the care needs: We prefer a male, but an mature woman is also preferred. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, companionship, feeding, and bathing / dressing.
