About who needs care: Grant is dealing with advancing Parkinsons and has been treating for prostate cancer. He generally doesn't get up until 11a and sits watching tv and playing games on his phone most of the day. Aside from this his only real interest is spectator sports and going to the casino once or twice a week. He struggles with incontinence and occasional encopresis and we struggle getting him to the bathroom in a timely manner. He resists eating and has lost over 40 pounds weighing in at 145. He has been in a wheelchair, but since doing PT, he currently walks with a cane. He does, however, walk with a stutter step and freezes up frequently, so he requires someone with patience. About the care needs: If they like to game at the casino, he would enjoy having them take him there and talk with him about it, although he tires of socializing quickly. He lives a quiet life and just needs someone to help him by saving him from walking to reduce his chance for a fall, take him to appointments or out to game and be there for him while I get a much needed break. Services needed include: transportation, and mobility assistance.
