About who needs care: My father has dementia & is in a wheelchair. He is very interested in philosophy, extra terrestrials, health/medicine. My dad wakes up early, my mother has his morning meds & sets out his afternoon meds. His caretaker needs to make sure he is wearing clean clothes, drinking enough water, eat, & make sure he hasn't fallen. Take him out of the apartment for exercise and errands. The easy part: Most of the time is spent just being near him/ He is polite, easy to deal with. My mother leaves during the day so you will have the place to yourself. Our ideal person: Someone who will be able to appreciate his conversation. Someone who can pull him out of his comfort zone to take walks, leave his room, keep his mind occupied. Services needed include: transportation, meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping,
