Needs help with shower, shampoo & shaving twice a week, encouragement with nourishment and walking with cane or walker since he is prone to falls. Enjoys talking about when he was in Army, likes to have read to him the Legion magazine articles and Reader's Digest. About the care needs: Definitely would need a male caregiver since he has always been very private while using toilet or shower. Although he wears hearing aids, needs someone who speaks English loud and clear. Would need help wife load wheelchair and transporting him to and from medical visits. I would prefer caregiver could attend his needs and help me put clean sheets on beds, vacuum, and wet mop kitchen floor. He enjoys talking about past events so a good listener would be important and someone very patient as he is slow with speech, walking, and eating. Services needed include: transportation, feeding, bathing / dressing, and mobility assistance.
