About who needs care: Dad needs breakfast made and his pills given to him in the morning. He may needs help with dressing to do it safely. If he is showering that day, he'll need someone here while he does so. Once he is ready for the day he may have a planned visitor or he'll enjoy watching tv. We need help for 2-3 hours in the morning and 2-3 hours in the evening. Both are making sure he has a meal and his pills and has enough energy to dress himself otherwise he will need help. He has early stage dementia so we are working on establishing some routines with him. About the care needs: Quieter types with thick skin. My dad likes to do things his way, but that way isn't usually the way his body can do things anymore, so a patient and persistent person would be best. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, companionship, feeding, and bathing / dressing.
