About who needs care: Stroke history, mild memory problems, continence problems... Stubborn. Bed to recliner to breakfast table to bathroom, repeat for lunch and dinner and bed. Watches TV, occasionally does jigsaws, sudoku. History of living in Alaska for 50 years, since the 60s. Lots of hobbies he didn't or can't do anymore (coins, stamps, remote control cars, woodworking, etc). We want him to go outside in wheelchair. To go for rides in the car. But he's not able or interested really. About the care needs: Kind but firm and confident. He said the PT was a bully when he was in Neuro rehab for a month. But he's stubborn and a little whiny, leans heavily on 78-year-old mom. Need a patient listener and good question asker. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, companionship, feeding, and bathing / dressing.
