About who needs care: Looking for a warm, energetic, and patient companion to spend the day with a 75-year-old man in the early stages of Alzheimers. The ideal candidate is kind, engaging, and enjoys meaningful conversation and shared activities. The goal of the day is social connection and gentle cognitive stimulation.
