About who needs care: Moderate stage of Alzheimer's Disease. Needs company when I leave the house, needs assistance walking, meal prep when I am out, sometimes needs help dressing. At this point my husband is still able to shower himself and use the toilet but I need to be able to get out of the house to do things and not worry that he is alone. About the care needs: The person should be fairly strong to be able to walk with/assist a man who is 5'4" and weighs 159lbs. Interest in exercise and ability to help him do his exercises and to our basement gym to do some easy cardio exercises. The person needs to be kind and attentive. My husband responds very well to a soft, friendly voice. Someone familiar with dementia is a key skill set here. Services needed include: transportation, meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, companionship, and mobility assistance.
