Hands-on Care Needed For My Father In Westport

About who needs care: Hi! This is for my father, Edward. He lives with my mom, Vivian, who is 83 and currently is his only caretaker. My dad has dementia, and his condition is worsening. My mom does an amazing job with him, but it's getting to be too much for her. He is extremely amiable and gentle, but his memory is extremely poor. He also is starting to lose control of his bowel movements, creating messes my mom needs to clean, and he increasingly needs help physically (e. g., showering). My mom and dad are very close, and she feels guilty at the thought of sharing responsibility for him. But she needs a break! She needs to be able to go play cards or have lunch with her friends; go to a museum; see a movie; etc. She'd need someone to stay with him when she is gone and provide some help cleaning. She also increasingly will need help with his physical limitations, including perhaps helping him in the bathroom and/or showering. The ideal candidate would by a youngish female with a pleasant personality. There won't be a lot of "heavy lifting," as my dad's communication skills are limited. But the ideal candidate would help make conversation with him and be a companion. If the person can drive, she could take him to the beach for a walk or out for a meal. I'm happy to discuss further. I am reachable. Thanks, Rich About the care needs: See above. A young, pleasant, extroverted female would be best. Services needed include: transportation, meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, companionship, feeding, and bathing / dressing.
