About who needs care: My husband has PSP (Progressive Supranuclear Palsy). He is ambulatory but unsteady and a fall risk. He does no personal care for himself. I am, also, in my 70s and find it extremely hard to shower him. He is incontinent and needs a shower daily. One day per week, I would like a caregiver to stay with him so that I may get a respite About the care needs: The caregiver needs to have a pleasant disposition. They need to be strong. My husband is 186 lbs. They should be interested in sports; football, baseball, etc. Most importantly, the caregiver must be reliable. Last minute cancellations, unless in emergency situations, are problematic. Services needed include: companionship, feeding, bathing / dressing, and mobility assistance.
