About who needs care: He has dementia and has just been in the hospital and will likely be bed bound permanently. He is not very verbal or interactive. We need incontinence care and hygiene care and protection from pressure sores etc. if he's always in bed. About the care needs: The caregiver needs to be strong enough to take care of incontinence and physical needs of my dad on their own, without relying on my mother, who is also 87. My dad is not a large man, though. I don't know about an ideal personality--a patient person would be great! Services needed include: feeding, bathing / dressing, and mobility assistance.
