Hands-on Care Needed For My Father In Burke

About the job

About who needs care: He has diabetes with insulin pump, hypertension, heart failure with atrial fibrillation, cervical stenosis, severe arthritis. He like to have his breakfast, lunch and dinner at set times and rest and watch TV in between. Maybe some light walking in the house. Takes naps most of the afternoon. About the care needs: The caregiver must be compassionate, attentive, and focused while present. Since he is hard of hearing they must be very patient and willing to repeat statements without raising their voice. They need to be able to do some basic cooking and wash dishes without using a dishwasher. They should be able to serve my father drinks and snacks as needed, and just be available. The best personality for the caregiver would be one that is willing to take direction from him and be of service and not one who is trying give directions or dictate his actions. The caregiver is they to help him realize what he wants and asks for. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, feeding, and bathing / dressing.
