About who needs care: Underlying condition: Managing a fib, weak heart, uses wheelchair a lot- issues with strength and hernia in groin may be interfering with his walking. This may be addressed with surgery if he gets stable enough. Interest: In friendly conversation, the past (reminiscing), food. Ideal day: My dad does well when people are patient with his lack of hearing. Truly, if he is not insulted and he is respected, he treats others very nice and is in need of company. He likes conversation. Would appreciate some light meal prep, and cleaning. He was in the army likes to chat on this. And is proud of his peach tree. He likes when people are just doing their thing to take care of things and he is there. He likes the action around him. It probably reminds him of when all three of us. Kids were living at the house and mom was alive. About the care needs: They just need to be strong enough to lift him to use the restroom or help him in a shower. Someone who has patience and truly cares about people my dad can sense when it is true, as we all can. How are you? I'm looking for someone who can befriend him where my dad actually looks forward to having them come by to give him a helping hand on whatever he needs whether it be getting him cleaned up or getting a couple meals prepped for him. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, companionship, feeding, and bathing / dressing.
