About who needs care: My dad will be 96 in February. He has never been sick until now and doesnt believe it has anything to do with his age. That is not true. He is nearly deaf and has lost 100 lbs in the last several years so he is incredibly weak. He insists on staying in his home. Needs housework and laundry done and possibly light meals and light trips to the grocery store. While all his tests, vitals and blood work are in the normal range, he is having a lot of trouble breathing. He cant walk more than a few feet before he needs a rest. His pulmonary tests show nothing wrong, yet he continues to struggle. I will be making the arrangements for this kind of service. I cannot help him myself because I too have several health conditions that dont allow me the physical strength needed to care for him. About the care needs: He is incredibly cranky, so we will need someone who has a thick skin. He is developing signs of dementia as well. Whoever we hire will need to speak very slowly and loudly. Not being able to hear causes him a lot of frustration. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, and light housekeeping.
