About who needs care: Susie has had a stroke which has affected her left side and she has little to no strength there. She is 85. Standing is difficult, and she uses a wheelchair around the house. She appreciates the help very much. Her husband, Dan, is also 85. He says he does not want cleaning help. Susies speech is somewhat affected by the stroke, but conversation is not difficult About the care needs: Susie and Dan are pretty easy to get along with. Some patience will be needed at times. If Susie is feeling tired, she may resist the shower/bath. Dan will encourage her, but not insist. The caregiver must find a way. :) Services needed include: feeding, and bathing / dressing.
