About who needs care: Glen is still living in his own home. He uses a walker in the house and a scooter to get around outside. Right now I am sure he would like someone who could get him a nice meal each day and take some time to visit. He is having trouble in the bathroom I would say 5 out of 7 days I have to clean up after him. He does not tell me if he just cannot get there in time or if he is having trouble cleaning himself. Bathing is an issue also. He is not really stable on his feet and has numerous falls. Dad likes to read westerns and he likes his birdfeeders out of his window, big TV watcher of westerns, rodeos and news. There is three of us here off and on during the day so I am able to get his breakfast and his meds but he spends the rest of his day alone. I make him something to go into his crockpot so he has something to eat in the afternoon. He also has a great grand daughter who comes and changes sheets, picks up the house and sweeps and mops. About the care needs: Dad is easy going and enjoys talking about yester years. He was a blue collar worker in farm country. Use to enjoy hunting and fishing. Skills maybe help him get up when he falls although we do have some mechanical chair that helps. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, feeding, and bathing / dressing.
