Companion Care Needed For My Father In Warrenville

About who needs care: My 90 yr old Dad is physically doing great. Short term memory issues. Can no longer drive. Lived in the same house for 50 yrs. My mom passed away 8 yrs ago. They had a loving marriage. Dad's ALWAY in a great mood and loves people. Very extroverted with strangers. His dog died around Thanksgiving. My brother and I live 4 & 8 hrs away in Michigan. Dad has next-door neighbors who look out for him likes he's family. But they also have lives and children/grandchildren. Friends pick him up for church on Sunday and for restaurants both Monday morning & evening. The rest of the week he's alone. I come at least once month to refill meds, clean house and take him for fun dinners etc. We installed a Ring Camera a few mos. ago in family room/kitchen area so we can see what's happening. (More than just FaceTiming him.) He spends all day in front of his fireplace (a real one) or watching the news. His eyes hurt when he reads so that doesn't happen. He enjoys watching some movies when I bring him home to my house in Michigan, but usually tells me he's 'ok' when I ask if we can find him one to watch when he's at his house. He has 2 acres of land and LOVES mowing them on his John Deere in the summer. He used to have MANY MANY hobbies from beekeeping, sailing, skiing, serving at church, tinkering and fixing basically anything. He is an Eagle Scout. Retired from the Navy Reserves after 30 yr. doing Russian Submarine Hunting, which he loved. Now he really isn't doing much of anything, unless someone else suggests it. We notice he wears the same clothes day after day, Doesn't really do laundry but thinks he does when I call him out on it. He usually makes a joke out of it when I bring attention to things I find troubling. Doesn't want to go to Windsor in Carol Stream where basically his entire Sunday School class for the last 50 yrs...lives. Highly considering moving him closer to me in MI but wondering if we could find a person to come in and just do some basics (make a meal, watch a movie, take him out to do something that could stimulate his brain, make sure he's got clean clothes) even twice a week...maybe he could stay there longer. About the care needs: Ideal caregiver is someone who is sassy and fun, able to take some ribbing/joking. Who would be able to do some quicky tidying up, make a simple meal, have some initiative to find some activities several times a month that they could go do together...go to a park, a war museum, restaurant, a movie, concert etc. I could advise if the activity would be something he'd enjoy. They need to have TOTAL Integrity who is trustworthy ....honestly I'm hesitant to have anyone come there that isn't a referral from someone we know. But I'm also trying to be open to possibilities. Services needed include: transportation, meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, and companionship.
