About who needs care: Just need someone to come over to their house for a 2 to 3 hour shift to "check-in" on my stepfather. He is 80 and fully functional, just needs some company and conversation a few times a week. My mother is in long term care home 1. 5 mile from the house and he would need a ride about once a week to facilitate an hour or 90 min visit and back. The other two visits could be just sitting with him and watching TV or a little light (very light) duty cleaning, etc. or occasional convenience store/food run. About the care needs: someone who can listen to an 80-year-old in general conversation. Someone who is good with older folks and how they think/view of the world. He likes to watch TV and rummage around the house, etc. Someone who could take him to the park and sit for an hour. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, and light housekeeping.
