About who needs care: Dad has dementia/alzheimers, he is a diabetic and has heart disease and other health issues. My sister and I take turns living with and caring for him, we usually do two weeks at a time and switch with each other. Our problem is dad will not take a shower or bath and we know he will never let us do it for him. We would love it if someone could give him a bath once a week for us. He is very old school and if a doctor ordered it and a health aide would come in and help him, we think he would follow doctors orders and let someone (other than his daughters) help him bathe. He still gets around very well and requires no help with walkers or canes. About the care needs: We are not going to be picky about someone who will help us get dad clean. I guess it would help if they were outgoing and talkative and not afraid to joke around with dad. But honestly, we would appreciate anyone who could help with this. Services needed include: feeding, and bathing / dressing.
