About who needs care: "Grandpa" has dementia and edema in his legs, he needs help getting dressed and moving about in the morning. His wife cannot do it all herself anymore. He is a very tall man and will need someone who can handle someone of that size. He loves telling stories from serving in the army. A solid morning routine would be essential. It would also allow his wife to rest, I'm not sure how much sleep she gets worrying about him so much. A little light housework would also ease her load. About the care needs: Someone who is strong physically and mentally to handle him. He needs strong firm instruction. Both he and his wife are very resistant to any kind of outside care. But we are pushing this because we worry about them both. We would also like some assessments done, as in home care will only suffice for so long before he needs more can in a facility. Services needed include: companionship, feeding, and bathing / dressing.
