About who needs care: Cheryl is 69 years old, she loves gardening and was a veterinarian for many years. She's also an artist and loves to paint landscapes. She's having memory issues and her roommate commutes to work in DC Monday through Friday, returning for the weekends. She's been distressed being alone for so long and often doesn't get out of bed till very late in the day. She has diabetes and is not eating a healthy diet when on her own. She has very little vision in her right eye, and many other issues associated with old age. I'm not sure what her ideal day is, but it likely includes gardening and taking care of her pets. I would like her to stop driving to her appointments, and to eat healthier foods. Thank you. About the care needs: Interest in nerdy things would help (Harry potter, doctor who) as well as gardening knowledge or willingness to follow direction when gardening. Must be okay with cats and dogs. Will likely require help with the animal care (feeding/watering, identifying when grooming is required) Cheryl will respond best to firm tone and consistency in actions Services needed include: transportation, meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, companionship, feeding, and bathing / dressing.
