About who needs care: Early Alzheimer's. Looking for someone with knowledge of how to handle Alzheimer's to spend a little time with her to get her out for walks or help with activities she's interested in. Looking to introduce a helper now so that as the disease progresses she's already acclimated to having someone come. Would start with having the person there while I'm there and progress to independent visits. About the care needs: Someone with a lot of patience; she's going to object to having an outsider come into her home, so I'll need help figuring out how to make that happen. Someone who likes to laugh and joke.
