About the job

About who needs care: My father is almost 76 years old and has metastatic cancer and lives alone, approximately 30 minutes from the nearest family member. He is feeling weak and lonely. I would like to have someone check in on him, spend a few hours with him as a companion and potentially run errands like grocery shop or prescription pickup when needed. The days and times can be flexible. We want to ensure he has interactions with people as much as possible and our family members cannot travel to him every day in addition to taking him to his doctors' appointments / treatment visits. About the care needs: Someone positive with thick skin as my dad tends to say whatever is on his mind. He has a history of depression and can sometimes get lost in it so a person that has a positive outlook and can converse with him positively would be great. He loves reading, history and sports (specifically baseball and basketball) so someone who shares similar interests or can have a discussion about these topics would be a plus. Services needed include: transportation, meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, and companionship.
