About who needs care: My grandfather lost his wife (my grandmother) at the end of October 2024. They were living in an assisted living facility back in Illinois. He needed more quality care than what they could provide so I moved him in with us. He doesn't realize when he has wet his depends. He does sleep in until usually 1100 and stays awake until 0000, so I'm looking around for someone to help him/ keep him company while I'm at work. I am active duty and I just want a little more care for him. He loves watching old T. V shows and was a postman so asking questions about that he loves. About the care needs: Someone that actually engages with him and is not there just for a pay check. The caregiver has to love animals we have two dogs and two cats. I would like someone that is comfortable helping him shower 1-2 times a week. We have a tub right now so someone with more confidence while he lifts his leg over the tub to help him would be wonderful. He can do it himself I'm just there incase he fall. I'm very protective of my grandfather so its talking a lot to ask for a little help.
