About who needs care: Octogenarian who loves jokes, music, kids, pets, theater, and woodworking has had to give up many of his hobbies due to health decline. A foot wound, a septic bone infection and triple bypass surgery has made for an exhausting year. Looking for someone to encourage engagement, exercise and fun! May need some assistance with hygiene, stability when walking and nutritional encouragement. (How about your carrots and chicken before that cookie? Maybe he is a 5-year-old in disguise!) About the care needs: An engaging personality, an appreciation for the older generation and a commitment to dignity/respect and a sense of humor are the most important qualities for success in this role. We like to joke around. A LOT! Also should not be afraid of or allergic to animals because we have a bunch! Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, companionship, feeding, bathing / dressing, and mobility assistance.
