Hands-on Care Needed For My Father In Albany

About the job

About who needs care: My father has Alzheimer's. He lives with my mom. However, my mother has health issues, as well, largely physical ones. She had a heart attack a few years ago, and she tires easily. Therefore it is hardship for her to look after my father, both physically and mentally. Mornings are the hardest for her as she is still very tired, but that is when my father is most active. We are looking for someone who can provide my dad some companionship in the mornings. Maybe take him for short walks, play cards, have conversations. He loves to talk about world politics, and can get quite philosophical, as well. Really, he can talk about anything :) I would love for him to get some mental exercise and stimulation. He too tires easily, but I would like for him to get out of the house at least once a day for some fresh air and sunlight. About the care needs: An easygoing and patient person. Good at redirection. My did loves playing gin rummy, but he wouldn't mind teaching her. These days he gets confused about the rules, so you can just roll with what he says lol. Services needed include: companionship, feeding, and bathing / dressing.
