About who needs care: My dad has COPD, diabetes and other health issues as a result. He lives with me and has his own space in my home. He has mild dementia and uses a walker and carries a POC. He attends an adult day program 3 times a week. At home, he watches TV and enjoys old movies and football. I meal plan for him, grocery shop, prepare his med boxes, do his laundry, clean his apartment, take him to all of his doctor appointments, drive him to/from his day program, etc. I need to be out of town and I would like someone to cover for me for a few days in March while I'm away - just check in on him during the day and drive him to/from his adult day program. We live less than 2 miles from the program. About the care needs: My dad is quiet, small in stature, would probably prefer a male but female would be OK as well. General medical knowledge would be helpful but not really necessary. My dad is hard of hearing and wears hearing aids. He's not compliant with his meds, hearing aids, wearing glasses, using his nebulizer, etc. but that might be more memory than anything else. Services needed include: transportation, and companionship.
