About who needs care: Both of my parents. Mother 93, Father 97. Both are hard of hearing, making communication between them difficult at times. Need someone to help convey communication. Both are unsteady on their feet and need reminders to use walker/cane. They spend most of their time in their recliners, So they need someone to bring them drinks, snacks, etc. In general, they need someone to call for help in an emergency. About the care needs: In their minds, they do not need help. So I've told them I need help, that having someone stay with them while I run errands would help me. My mom is a quilter and is easily entertained by showing off her quilts. My dad has a good sense of humor any likes to tease the people he connects with. . Due to a history of strokes and his advanced age, he sometimes has difficulty operating the TV remote. My goal is to preserve their dignity will keeping them safe.
