About who needs care: Mom upper 80s, Dad 93. Mom with significant short term memory loss. Dad now has some memory concerns and also heart concerns. Both live in the house they brought up their family in (5 daughters) and largely manage. They adamantly don't want to move.. About the care needs: Big key is gaining their trust and establishing a relationship. Parents are resistant to home health care, my mom says, "a housekeeper every 6 weeks would be good". Let's start with once every week or 2. Hope is initially got in occasionally to do some housekeeping and prepare a simple meal. As they trust you and accept you hours will increase. Both have been in the hospital briefly within past few months (my mom fell in the home, and my dad had heart issues). Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, and light housekeeping.
