About who needs care: Dementia seems to have hit quickly. He used to trade stocks and options and likes to follow the market. He was trading up until a few weeks ago, so his normal day was to follow the market all day and trade. Now he is struggling with what to do when he doesn't really have anything to do. About the care needs: He needs someone to just look after him. He will need to be reminded that he doesn't have to do anything throughout the day and the caregiver will ideally find things to do with him besides watching TV or sitting on the patio all day. Caregiver will need to at times make lunch and dinner for him (or just make sure he can do it on his own). Make sure anything he tries to do during the day is safe (he smokes a pipe). Also take him to appointments or friends houses. In general support him as he gets dissoriented sometimes. Likely from around 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. coverage is needed as well. Services needed include: transportation, meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, and companionship.
