About who needs care: My dads an old Marine who spent 28 yrs in the corps. Hes a Vietnam and desert storm vet. We lost my mom to dementia almost 4 years ago. Hes someone who just wants to talk and talk and talk and have company but at HIS house. Weve tried to get him going back to Catholic Church but he doesnt want to go alone. He has COPD, had throat and lung cancer he beat and has anxiety and PTSD (Vietnam related). Hobbies, honestly just chatting and telling stories and having coffee and watching old shows. He likes to go to the movies and treat people to lunch or dinner. He gets up and putters around, watches TV, Naps, eats canned soup and watches too much news. His doctor needs him to eat more protein and even through he is an awesome cook he only eats out or canned soup. About the care needs: Someone VERY patient. He has a quick little temper. My mom was a nurse for 50 yrs so when a woman tells him to knock it off, he listens. He likes to gossip on neighbors and can get himself worked up and anxious and agitated so we need someone to help him enjoy the good in life now that he beat cancer. Listening probably is the best skill the will need cus he doesn't take a breath between sentences. He loves attention. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, and companionship.
