About the job

About who needs care: My dad is a great guy, I love him very much and he deserves the best of the best when it comes to care. He is in the severe stages of alzheimers, needs to be bathed, has incontinence and needs to be checked, cleaned, and changed regularly. He needs companionship and someone who will get him to exercise to the extent that he can. He needs to be mentally and physically engaged. He loves ole miss sports and the Beatles. The ideal day for my dad would be wake up have meds, eat a good fulfilling breakfast, engage in some mentally stimulating activities and exercise, have a good healthy filling lunch, maybe take a 30 minute nap, engage in some more activities that stimulate his brain. He has good day and bad days. Some days he sleeps all day and is unresponsive but continuing to try and engage him is important. Other days he is up and active. There are times he may be difficult or refuse but no matter how he may act he deserves to be treated with the utmost respect, care, and love. About the care needs: The ideal caregiver would treat dad how they themselves would want to be treated. They would engage him, keep him as active as possible, feed him very well, cooking is a part of the job, housekeeping also. They would never allow him sit in wet or dirty underwear, strip his sheets if they are wet and get them washed, they would learn his cues and pay attention because he is at a point where the majority of the time he cannot comminucate what it is he needs or wants. The ideal caregiver would become his friend, someone he is comfortable with and has an affinity for. They would keep him on a set schedule for all things, meds, eating, activities, exercising, nap time, snack times, everything. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, companionship, feeding, bathing / dressing, and mobility assistance.
