About who needs care: My dad was recently told he has lung cancer, was given 6 month to 1 year to live. He will accept Hospice as he progresses, not at this time tho. My parents have a family member that cares for them, does cleaning and chores for them and at times pre preps their meals and takes them to their appointments. PThe family member is at their home untill about 2 p.m. daily. My mom is not well, she gets constant blood and at times iron infussions. They both get confused at times and have forgetten how to call for help in the past. Dad can not see very well at all and he can not hear unless you yell into his right ear. He has a cup of tea in the morning and he naps on the couch throughout the day, watching tv shows and family videos, unless he has a docs appointment he has to attend. Mom spends most of her time in another room from dad and she is very soft spoken so dad dont always hear her when she is near. He lives in his own lonley world and often hums a song and taps or fiddles with his fingers. He does not leave the house often at all. He is very intelligent and he believes in very old school values. He was a big sportsman at one time but The Atlantic ocean and ocean fishing have always been his passion. About the care needs: My dad has a sence of humor. I would like evening care and compassion for my dad. To make sure they both eat their evening meal (it may at times need preparing or to be ordered and picked up) most importantly to assure their well being and saftey. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, and companionship.
