About who needs care: Hello. My 85-yo father has experienced a steep health decline in the past month, with both urological and GI issues for which we are starting the journey of diagnosis and treatment. He also has dementia, with loss of short-term memory and no longer driving. While he lives with my mother, she is hard of hearing and they both are increasingly finding it difficult to walk up and down stairs in their townhouse. While we prepare for a transition for them to live with or near me in NYC, we could use a hand with Dad's daily needs for the next few months. They live in Germantown, MD. Thank you.
About the care needs: - Patient, gentle, and kind, as repetition of same info is needed for him to understand his world now
- Someone who has some medical or nursing training, as he will be undergoing treatment for various conditions over this summer and will be in a weakened state and likely overwhelmed emotionally.
Thank you.
Services needed include: transportation, feeding, and bathing / dressing.
