About who needs care: She has dementia but still enjoys having company, engaging in activities, and her artistic endeavors. She despises the idea of a care giver but I will need respite time now and again. Her ideal day is having the independence to do as she pleases when she pleases. She can still care for herself fairly well and do things around the house but needs some oversight sometimes. About the care needs: Someone should be engaging, friendly, and upbeat, but not over the top. Helpful but not condescending. Definitely female. Her caregiver should be interested in and curious about art. Patience and understanding of dementia behaviors like forgetfulness and confusion. Services needed include: companionship.
