About who needs care: My Mother in law is in her late 70s and resides in a home with my 85-year-old father in law. The home is new as they moved here a few years ago from Rochester. My MIL has been dx with Alzheimers. She knows her family and still remembers things but her short term is not so good. Her mobility is not great but she can walk around. She gets confused but she is sweet and compliant and sits on the couch nearly all day because that's easier on my FIL. They have daily family visits and my husband has taken her to the Onondaga Senior Center and it has gone well. We struggle to get our FIL to do social activities. We think she needs to see other people as she used to be very social. He struggles with the cold and mobility and we think he is mostly fearful of falling. Being home is easy. She can shower but needs reminders. It would be nice if some one could do her hair. Its just super short. Just simple style. She used to knit. And loves to talk/ think about it. Shed love a knitter. She was a realtor and home maker and took great pride in her tidy home. They have a cleaner that comes every 2 weeks. We would like someone to get her to the senior center which is about 1 mile away. Even once a week is fine. In her condition her needs will increase and we would like to get people in before her care gets too personal. Getting to know someone is our goal so they can build trust. About the care needs: Knitting would be great They love Rochester, Greece was where they lived They are Irish and love to talk Ireland Little kids make her happy. Her grandkids are all grown. No great grand kids now. She likes quiet activities like having tea.
