Caregiver Needed For 80 Year Old Father-in-law In Dix Hills!!

About the job

Looking for a patient but firm caregiver to help my father in law continue his recovery from bypass surgery. He is able to walk with a walker because he is still weak but slowly gaining strength. Need someone to help with light PT exercises. In particular, he needs assistance with meal prep and encouragement to eat as much as possible. One of the odd side effects of the surgery seems to be a lack of appetite. He still has surgical wounds that are healing and may need a dressing changed but there is a nurse that comes every few days to primarily handle. May need assistance getting dressed occasionally. Also needs some general companionship to keep him engaged as he recovers. We do want the caregiver to be firm in the sense that he sometimes doesnt want to eat as much or do pt. Sometimes a little tough love goes a long way.
