About who needs care: My father has alzheimers, later stages, remains at home with my mother (his wife). He developed alzhiemers related insomnia in the last 6 months, usually sleeps fro about 3-4 hours at a time, we need someone at night as he is not safe alone when he wakes up. About the care needs: We have found a calm, patient but firm person is good for the job. Someone who is strong enough to help my father move around, support him if he goes up stairs. My father is quite skinny, about 130 pounds due to weight loss so not very bug, but he is becoming less stable when walking. Ideally would like someone who is able and willing to shower him.
