About the job

About who needs care: My sister has Alzheimer's Disease and has recently started getting worse and our family is no longer able to split duties to help her

About who needs care: My sister has Alzheimer's Disease and has recently started getting worse and our family is no longer able to split duties to help her husband with coverage. She has a need to be near her husband or me at all times; she is scared of the dark; she doesn't sleep well and won't go to sleep unless someone is in the bed with her; she is confused about where she is and where she lives; she doesn't like people telling her what to do, but doesn't realize we are trying to help her or answer her questions; she has recently begun to demonstrate sun downing behaviors so her doctor has made some changes in her medications. We need someone to sit with her while we are running errands or doing work around the house. It would be nice if someone could try to play games with her or find a hobby that she likes. She used to be a very creative person but currently can't seem to do anything except color puzzles on her phone. About the care needs: Honestly, it's probably going to require some trial-and-error because that's all we've been able to do with her. She will try to help with whatever we are doing, but it usually causes frustration for everyone. Services needed include: companionship.
