About who needs care: Stubborn to a fault. Good heart but his sense of humor can be offensive. Good news is you can call him on it and he gets it. Definitely a man from a certain age and is doing his best to navigate the world. He is really politically liberal but his jokes can be cringe-ey. I am really looking for someone to come and play cribbage or something like that for about an hour or two a week, maybe eat lunch too. He is fiercely independent and wants to stay that way. I want that too because of how important it is to him. His wife, my mother, passed away at the beginning of the Covid pandemic and he is lost without her. He is a sail (big, grandiose, loud, out there) and she was a rudder (always ready and able to correct his nuttiness with a sense of direction). The long goal is to, if necessary, work up to home health care should the need arise.
About the care needs: Someone who will call him on his but also be able to be kind about it. Someone who is skilled at cribbage and will make him do the math in his head and beat him when he plays poorly but cheer for him when he wins. A plus if they know old cars, engines, aircraft, and can at least fake a knowledge of football. A liberal political leaning could be helpful too. He watches Rachel Maddow every night.
Services needed include: companionship.
