About who needs care: My dad will be formally evaluated by his dr on 12/19 but he is at a point where he needs help and we can't have him driving. He is still independent with dressing, eating, speaking, bathing etc. He needs help with errands, meal prep, medication and companionship. He grew up on a dairy farm outside of Chippewa and graduated from High School there. He love the outdoors but with his job as a business mgr at a car dealership, he worked long days and Saturdays. His wife died 7 years ago almost to the day of dementia. :-( I do feel that there are some days he would just need help for a couple of hours in the morning and a couple in the evening. I anticipate we may move him into an assisted living in about 6 months, but if we can keep him in his home right now that would be preferred. I am his 57-year-old daughter. So the challenge is the distance. His schedule is pretty much get up about 730, have coffee, take a short nap, lunch about noon and dinner about 6. He does watch some TV at night, but usually in bed about 10. To complicate matters, he has had a gal living with him for the last 5-6 years. They never got married but it was a romantic relationship. She told us it has gotten too hard and she wants to leave. Basically end the relationship. So we are kind of scrambling for help. About the care needs: I think it is the typical patient and understanding. Besides medication, Dad doesn't have any real health needs. He wears hearing aids and sleeps with a CPAP. Without his hearing aids, he is pretty hard of hearing so it is best to look at him when speaking to him. He is definitely not a big technology guy. I know he will need help with his TV. He did some hunting and loves to salmon fish. Services needed include: transportation, meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, and companionship.
