About who needs care: My dad has dementia, hard of hearing (has hearing aids but refuses to keep them in), high blood pressure & cholesterol. He spends most of his time sleeping or sitting on the couch. He takes medication twice a day.
My mom fractured her femur last Fall, she has high hypertension & edema, & wears a hearing aid sometimes. Needs help around the house, exercise & companionship.
I would like for both to be able to go for walks, get outside more & have activities to keep them from sleeping/sitting all day to stimulate their mind.
About the care needs: Calm, but firm demeanor. My dad and mom can be stubborn and set in their ways. They need someone who can be patient, and consistent but also caring.
Services needed include transportation, meal preparation, errands/shopping, light housekeeping, feeding, & bathing/dressing.
