About who needs care: My father in law, Jim has recently come to live with us after his wife passed away suddenly. They resided in Michigan so being in Denver is new to him. Throughout his life he has had health issues and in the past year has had a few strokes. These strokes have affected his mobility a bit, he moves slow and with a cane but is able to go up and down stairs and get around pretty much on his own. Where the stroke has really affected him is in his mind and being able to make the connections to complete simple tasks or recognizing that he has to go to the bathroom, especially bowel movements. Ideally, we would like to find a shower aide to come in 3-4 days a week and assist him with cleaning himself in the shower and helping him get dressed. He is a fan of Big Band 1940's music and worked as a Band Director for the past 20 years in Michigan. He is a sweet fellow who can be sassy but is generally easy to get along with, especially if you are female. About the care needs: A good fit would be a female who is quick witted and can tolerate a little mouthiness. Someone who is willing to give instructions and explain what they are doing. Someone who is patient and willing to help someone relearn basic skills Services needed include: bathing / dressing.
