About who needs care: My dad is newly in a nursing home in Land O Lakes in the memory care wing(we are hoping to have him moved to regular skilled nursing when a bed opens up.). He has mild dementia and physically relies on a walker/wheelchair due to a stroke this year. Im seeking someone who can visit with him 2-3 times a week for a few hours just for companionship and to wheel him outside to get fresh air. His memory is pretty good and he loves to tell stories and talk to people but he's become a bit withdrawn and sad since being at the nursing home. He's country boy and loves talking about fishing and growing up in Tampa. He also loves music and enjoys listening to country and oldies. About the care needs: A very positive uplifting person as my dad tends to be a bit pessimistic and negative due to being in a nursing home. He does have mild dementia so he needs someone that will redirect or agree with him rather than challenge him. Must have patience and be kind. My dad has always loved being outdoors, fishing, watching birds and loves animals, building things. He was in the navy and likes talking about that. Services needed include: companionship.
