About who needs care: Mobility/Orthopedic issues - Father has bad knees, is weak, and has started falling more often. If he falls, it will require someone with strength to lift him as my father is approximately 275lbs. Ideally looking for someone who can come in regularly to assist with daily activities and provide respite for my mother. My mother is not in the best of health, so they could use help with household chores. Long-term planning might include live-in care, so ideally looking for someone who can transition to live-in care. About the care needs: Would prefer someone with an outgoing personality, but will not hover if my parents want to be alone. Ideally a man as my father is the primary person needing care. I think he would be more comfortable with a man. Also, it will require someone with the strength to live him if he falls. My parents do not have many hobbies. They enjoy gardening, but have relied on others to keep up their yard. They watch a lot of tv/movies and enjoy cooking. Services needed include: transportation, meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, feeding, bathing / dressing, and mobility assistance.
