About who needs care: My wife has a diagnosis of corticobasal syndrome, a neurodegenerative disease, with progressive weakness, difficulty talking, worsening dementia. Need some break time from being her caregiver. Three days a week, three hours a day. About the care needs: Need someone who can provide companionship, female, engage in conversation, share handicrafts/reading/minimal physical requirements (my wife is slow but ambulatory, has a weak voice, poor short term memory, but otherwise a delightful woman.) Her long term prognosis is poor. This disease is ultimately fatal. I have been providing her care for two years. I am approaching burn out. Need some breaks. Services needed include: companionship.
