About who needs care: He has diabetes so he would need help checking his sugar and being given his shots. Making sure that he is taking his morning meds with food. Also setting him up with a breakfast and drinks and helping him to and from the bathroom or if that is not possible for him changing his Depends and helping him clean up. Some light vacuuming in the living room where he sits in his recliner. About the care needs: A male caregiver would be the best. He would have to be a strong man as my Dad is around 200 lb. He does not get along with female caregivers very much. He is hard of hearing and will not wear his hearing aids. So you have to be able to speak up and he also reads lips so you need to be talking directly to him. He likes the original old country music and talking about the Bible as he is a Christian, he is Southern Baptist. He does not have any hobbies currently as he used to play the banjo, guitar and the piano but he has arthritis in his hands now and cannot play anymore. He also liked feeding the birds. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, feeding, bathing / dressing, and mobility assistance.
