Companion Care Needed For A Grandfather .

A beloved grandad with dementia needs companionship and respite for his devoted wife. We are flexible re days and times. He was a physicist/scientist before retiring. He had many hobbies prior to his moderate Alzheimer's and enjoyed doing aerobics, sailing, fishing, golf, reading and woodworking/antiquing. He still enjoys outdoor activities, although needs more encouragement. He is very good at crosswords and puzzles. We are looking for a calm, mature, patient and trustworthy man to spend a few hours with him a few times a week to start. He and his wife are in their home where they have been for more than 40 years. He has no access to a car anymore, although his wife does. Services needed include: first companionship and respite for his wife, then secondarily transportation, errands and light household chores.
