About who needs care: My mom has dementia and is progressing slowly. She is forgetting to take medication, she is forgetting to eat, and is not bathing more than once a week. Her husband (my stepfather is 91 and frail with a heart condition. He cannot take care of her. They sleep until about 10-11 a.m. everyday. They need 2-3 meals or snacks through out the day, and help with groceries, cooking and cleaning. I was hoping g to have someone work with them 3 days a week to start, but maybe going to 4 days and more. They have a black lab dog, and he is older too. But they forget to feed him sometimes too. And he has meds as well. Recently they both have fallen. I cant be there every day to help them. I have a younger sister who lives with them but is not very capable. She is a recovering alcoholic. Please help! About the care needs: Someone who is mentally strong and very accommodating for my parents. They are not fond of having a stranger in the house and yet they don't want to move. They are both very stubborn and dont want help ever, but they need it. I would love someone who does not take things personally, but also wont argue and fight with my parents. Gentle care but strong mentally is what Im looking for. My parents will be hard to win over.
