About who needs care: 90-year-old male with Alzheimer's. Generally a sweet and gentle man, but gets obstinate/belligerent when it comes to bathing. Extra points for anyone who can manage to get him showered without a fight. I work on the same property as the residence, so usually here to assist, but I need at least one day a week for personal respite and errands away from home. Little actual care required aside from (hopefully) bathing and the irregular incontinence cleanup. Days will vary, but can establish a primary day each week with some flexibility. Help is needed primarily for work days, but the occasional evening or weekend day isn't out of the question. Light housekeeping would be nice, but not a requirement. About the care needs: No special skills require other than patience. The person to be cared for is my domestic partner (Jerry) of 28 years. LGBT household. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, companionship, feeding, and bathing / dressing.
