About who needs care: My mom is the current primary caretaker, but she is wearing out. I am looking for someone to come in and dress and bathe my dad several days per week, perhaps assist in getting him in the car for medical visits. He currently walks with a walker and has a lift recliner. He uses a wheelchair at the dining table. Occasionally he is so weak he uses wheel chair in the house. We do not need assistance with food prep, etc unless god forbid something happens to my mother. This assignment could become more hours as my dads health declines. He is considering stopping all treatments. He has one kidney and mid stage kidney failure, mild congestive heart failure, diabetic neuropathy and is weak. He has full mental capacity. He will be 87 in March. About the care needs: My dad is frustrated with his lack of energy. He is a multi talented craftsman and has incredible skills in car restoration. He has an extensive garage. He is funny. He doesn't like to watch TV and hates that he doesn't have the energy to work in his garage. He is a tall man, probably 200lbs, so lifting ability is important. My mom manages all meds. Services needed include: feeding, bathing / dressing, and mobility assistance.
