About who needs care: He can have some balance issues when ambulating and should use his walker. He simply needs cues/reminders to eat, drink and take his medications which are already prepared for him. He sits in his chair and just watched TV so hes an easy person to take care of-he just needs someone to be here just in case. About the care needs: He can be quiet and likes to sit in his chair and watch TV and unfortunately he can do this all day long. He would mesh well with someone who wouldnt mind just sitting with him. Not much need to carry on long conversations-he has moderate dementia but as I said hes very capable of taking care of himself. Hes very sweet and not really much trouble-we just need a break from him a few hours a week. Caregiver burnout Services needed include: companionship.
