About who needs care: My father is 75. He has diabetes and congestive heart failure. He has spinal stenosis. And just this May he had an abscess removed from his right inner thigh by his groin. He continually complains that he is in pain from his back, to his thigh, to his legs, because he does not get up and move around. So he has contracture of his muscles in his hamstrings. He is extremely sedentary. He needs reminders to take his blood sugar, even though it is literally on his phone and attached to his body through a continuous glucose monitor. He is hard of hearing and has low vision, so all of his medications are given to him by me and are closely monitored by me as well. It may sound like a lot, but truly, he just wants someone to sit with, someone to make food for him, someone to talk to, and someone to make sure that he Is taking his medication on time. About the care needs: Honestly, I'm looking for someone flexible. I need someone to come check on him in the morning make him breakfast, give him his medication sit with him for an hour or so, clean the dishes, then leave until 5:30. At 5:30 come in make sure he is okay, cook him and yourself dinner, make sure you give him his evening meds, then at 7 or 8 leave for the night. The schedule would remain the same for every time that I needed to be away. If by chance my father needed more care on a weekend then it would require an overnight stay. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, and companionship.
