About who needs care: Our dad was diagnosed with colon cancer. He just had surgery to remove it, on Monday 1/13/25. He is 78 going on 79, with a wife who is also disabled. She can not drive to run errands and or clean, laundry, cooking every meal. He is going to need help with common, weekly things. Hopefully trying to find someone who can help him/them, 3 days a week. He will be in recovery, at home, for 6 months. During this time, that's when we will need the help. He will have a visiting nurse to tend to his health. He likes to play cribbage and they both love scrabble. He is pretty easy going and enjoys a good conversation. About the care needs: They really don't need any special skills! Just being a good listener! Our dad is not a huge fan of change and/or asking for help, so someone that can make him feel like he is still contributing and helping, would be great. Someone who is positive and hopefully funny! Please, however, do NOT bring up politics. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, and companionship.
