He enjoys watching western movies, doing puzzles, and loves having his French bulldog close by. The dog is very low maintenance and friendly. Typical Day: Wake up Help get dressed Eat/take medications Watch tv/sit outside Lunch or a snack (depending on breakfast sometimes he just eats a snack and drinks an ensure. Interests: Reading the Bible or having it read to him Watching westerns Watching News Sitting outside on back porch Puzzles Spending time w dog (French Bulldog - very friendly/lazy) Preferred Skills: Experience with dementia/Alzheimer's (sun downing) Patience and not easily offended (he sometimes gets in a mood and says mean stuff he more so gets scared of being placed in a home and will get agitated.
