I'm looking for someone to care of my dad, He recently had a small stroke that has affected the left side of his body. He just left rehab, and he will be receiving PT a few times a week, but that's not enough. Before this incident, he was lazy, inactive, out of shape, and terrible at taking his meds, so recovery has been tough, and I'm trying to change that "lazy and inactive" part, but I can't do it on my own. I need someone a few days a week to just make him active. Take a short walk, play a game with him in the backyard, do a puzzle or some type of word game with him... Basically anything to get him out of his chair and using his muscles and his brain. He also has a bad habit of staying up late and sleeping all day, so giving him something to do during the day should help his sleep pattern. He is a Marine... spent time in Vietnam and was a drill instructor after that. He was a cop and also worked for the government for many years, which is where he retired from. He has a very dry and sarcastic sense of humor, and he definitely likes to joke around. The right person needs to be very confident, a little bossy, high energy, and enthusiastic. He needs encouragement... or even a big push!
