I'm currently working and caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's or other memory impairments. It is a very personal, loving dedication to service. It requires service for very individual needs. More often these needs involve life's daily activities and personal assistance but not acute medical ailments requiring around-the-clock skilled nursing care or instruction. The unique combination of physical setting and specialized care is a journey traveled by many families. Assist with walking and light exercise. Plan and prepare meals, followed by clean-up. Monitor food expiration dates, make future meals. Make beds and change linens, as needed. Light housekeeping to include dusting and vacuuming. Assist with bathing, dressing and grooming. Laundry and ironing. Take out garbage. Run errands (pickup prescriptions, dry cleaning). Engage in physical and mental exercises. Provide medication reminders. Escort on appointments (hair salon, physical therapy, etc.). Escort to religious services or events. Maintain calendar and organize mail. Engage in activities (games, memory books). Companionship.
