Companion Care Needed For My Loved One In New York

About who needs care: Considerable short-term memory loss, but mind still fairly good and was once an active author, music-maker. In late 80s. Tired and sleeps a lot. Walks with cane, balance not good. Likes people. A warm person. Reads a little now but doesn't retain much. About the care needs: Should be a friendly, alert person, tactful so will talk when he wants and let him rest when he prefers. HIs hearing is bad, so need to talk clearly and somewhat loudly. Sometimes a meal has already been prepared by the daytime caregiver but sometimes this person will need to prepare something. Good to be resourceful: for example, help him find something on television if he wants (likes crime/mystery, or news). He doesn't watch very much. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, and companionship.
