Former nationally-active lawyer in health insurance field. Former high level dressage rider. Former prolific gardener and gourmet cook. Now, hallucinates need to travel to meetings (car keys kept away), to find her horse for a show that day (refuses to accept that horses died some time ago), to plant seeds (out of season), and to cook (leading to stove and oven messes, some dangerous). Forgets to eat properly, to take medicine, and to bathe. Should not be alone for hours at a time; needs watchful companionship, dissuading from wandering, and timely meals. About the care needs: High level of patience! but can say "no" when necessary. Good conversationalist who understands confabulation and is adept in good-natured diversion. Familiarity with horses and dressage would be convenient for a topic, but not necessary. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, and companionship.
