About who needs care: My father is very sweet, but now incontinent, has memory issues (more advanced 'early' Alzheimer's), has trouble transferring out of a chair/in & out of the car, takes a long time in the bathroom & shower. My mother is there with him (she's 78 and healthy -- but very stressed all the time because of my Dad). My Dad loves sports & watches them on TV all the time. He in obsessed with his walks -- he "needs" his 10, 000 steps a day (thanks to my sister the PT in the family). He is very religious and must go every day. He also takes a lot of naps (he should! he's 80!) Typical day: - wakes up early and gets dressed (not always showers) - waits for my Mom to get up (who doesn't sleep well due to all of this), and they go to - come home and eat breakfast - reads the newspaper cover to cover - takes a nap - takes his walk (set loop around the neighborhood) - comes home and eats lunch - takes a nap in front of the TV - goes on errands with my Mom - goes for a walk (sometimes 2x/day) - has dinner - watches TV/sports - eventually goes to bed About the care needs: I would imagine a male caregiver -- or a female who likes sports. Someone with a lot of patience (I imagine all of your caregivers do). Someone who can physically help my father transfer --- and off the floor if he falls (he's about 220#s). Someone who likes to walk. Services needed include: transportation, companionship, feeding, and bathing / dressing.
