Potentially willing to do light housekeeping. Assistance with bathing, washing hair, styling hair, etc. is one of our requirements. We're looking for some help preparing meals. Looking for a caring and compassionate companion. Duties include transportation (doctor's appointments, errands, etc.). Preferences for a caregiver who is a non-smoker and CPR / first-aid trained. Again must be familiar with Alzheimer's and know how to manage sundowning and help provide my father some support.
