Hands-on Care Needed For My Father In Enumclaw

About who needs care: Hi, my mother normally cares for my father, but she recently went into a rehab facility for mobility issues. My family is having a hard time taking care of my dad, who has dementia. The things I think he needs help with are remembering to take medication, preparing meals and remembering to eat, incontinence and hygiene (he showers on his own, but sometimes doesn't realize he's had an accident), watching for fall risk. He can get up and move around okay, but he's wobbly on his feet, and is prone to falling. Light household chores would be helpful like dishes, laundry, and feeding their cat and cleaning her litter box. He may need help getting to doctor appointments. We'd like a relationship with a caregiver who will communicate any blindspots we may have in what kind of support would be best for him since we are new to this. As far as his hobbies and interests, he reads and watches TV a lot. He enjoys history, and despite having dementia, his long term memory can be good and he can have lively conversations. He is a jokester at times and likes trivia, riddles, word games, and puzzles. However, he can be prone to depression and dark thoughts about his mortality sometimes. Music from his youth is helpful and lifts his spirits. He'll probably sing a song (or many) around you when he's comfortable. Dementia can come with paranoia since it's not always easy to keep track of what's going on. It's best to be patient and gentle with his struggles in that regard. About the care needs: We prefer a caregiver who has experience with dementia, and who is patient and friendly. We'd like to establish good communication and learn more about the best ways to support our dad from their expertise. Services needed include: transportation, meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, companionship, feeding, and bathing / dressing.
