About who needs care: Mobile, thin, looks physically healthy, but officially diagnosed with moderate Alzheimer's, can no longer drive, fills gaps in memory with tall tales and hallucinations, tends to not want to leave the house but needs someone to make her do so anyway so that she can get some exercise, would love if someone can go on walks with her. About the care needs: Someone who won't treat her like she's old, she doesn't like it when people treat her like she's old, but willing to help her with tasks, transportation, and taking her on walks during the day without getting frustrated by her tall tales. For e. g., she might say she has walked from Brooklyn to Long Island several times, when that distance is not at all walkable, and she'll insist that what she is saying is true even if you provide proof that it isn't. She will stubbornly hold onto her side of the story defying logic, so you will have to find a way to change the subject. Services needed include: transportation, meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, companionship, feeding, and bathing / dressing.
