About who needs care: We're looking for a special person to spend time with our vibrant 101-year-old WWII veteran! He's full of life,wisdom, and wonderful stories. He loves God, his family, friends, his country, and life itself. His favorite hobby is people! He enjoys good company, a cup of coffee, and sharing stories from his many years of living. If you enjoy good conversation, you won't run out of things to talk about with him!
He still lives in his own home and enjoys visits from family and friends throughout the day. He's a little slower getting around these days and likes his beauty sleep, so a patient, gentle, and caring person is just what he needs. He can be tired and weak at times but is still able to walk and manage some basic daily activities with assistance.
His day usually starts a little later in the morning (he's earned the right to sleep in!), and breakfast is his biggest meal of the day, followed by an early dinner. He needs help preparing meals, getting dressed, laying out his clothes, medication reminders, and making sure he gets around safely. Transportation to doctor's appointments and occasional trips to the store to pick up necessities are also needed.
Light housekeeping is part of the job and includes dishes, dusting, vacuuming, light laundry, and general tidying. He has someone who assists him with showering, so bathing assistance isn't necessary. However, we do need help cleaning up the bathroom and drying wet surfaces afterward to prevent falls. Showers can leave him feeling worn out, so he usually enjoys a little nap in his chair afterward.
At 101, occasional bathroom accidents happen when he can't get there in time. We need someone comfortable helping him clean up afterward with kindness, patience, and respect for his dignity.
We also keep a simple daily log of his food and water intake, activities, and how he's doing. Nothing elaborate just a quick way to keep everyone informed and make sure he's doing well.
Above all, we're hoping to find someone dependable, attentive, and genuinely compassionate who will treat him like the remarkable person he is. If you're someone who enjoys helping others, sharing a laugh, and making a difference in someone's day, we'd love to hear from you!
About the care needs: We're looking for someone kind, patient, dependable, trustworthy, and compassionate, with a good sense of humor. Someone who respects his independence, treats him with dignity, and lets him move at his own pace.
Senior care experience, especially with mobility, fall prevention, and personal care, is important. We appreciate someone who notices the little things, takes initiative, follows through, and communicates well with family. They must be comfortable handling occasional bathroom accidents with kindness and discretion.
Reliable transportation is needed for doctor appointments and occasional shopping trips. Most of all, we want someone who sees him as a person, not just a job, and treats him with the same kindness and respect they'd want for their own loved one.
Services needed include: transportation, meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, companionship, feeding, bathing / dressing, and mobility assistance. ... read more
