About who needs care: Parkinsons, swallowing, recovering from bacterial pneumonia brought on from aspirating food due to swallowing issues. Fluid retention. Neuropathy in feet resulting in balance issues. Memory issues and confusion at times but mainly at night or when waking up. Recently hospitalized for pneumonia and coming home on hospice care due to choice of not getting feeding tube and instead wanting quality of life. Interested in Packers and Brewers and Bucks, the outdoors. Enjoys watching tv, listening to music. About the care needs: He may come home with a catheter and oxygen, but this is unknown. My mom would need help with these things along with help getting him to bathroom and help for him to use bathroom. She is becoming overwhelmed with taking care of house and would like help with housework. Someone with a lighthearted personality but also has experience working with elderly folks would be great. If they can talk sports with my dad that would be nice. But not required! Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, feeding, bathing / dressing, and mobility assistance.
