Full Time
Seeking care for my father in his 70s. Services needed: meal preparation, medication prompting, mobility assistance, light housekeeping, errands / shopping. No prior experience required. Specialized care needs: CPR/first aid training, support for chronic illness. A little more about my father: he can be anxious, lethargic, pleasant. He was once an active shipyard employee and naval officer. He was very energetic and physically fit. He has endured colon cancer and recovered. He also fell this past fall and broke his femur. He had surgery and was in rehab for several months. He just hasn't bounced back from that. He doesn't seem to be eating well and has retired into his apartment with little social interaction. I'm looking for someone who is patient, chatty, strong. Someone who is perceptive regarding Dad's declining health and abilities would be ideal. He is lonely and needs interaction. He also needs someone to help with meals and to run errands. He still has a car and a license but it probably needs to be taken from him. He's been involved in a few minor accidents in the past 5 years. I would love for someone to show him some love and compassion. He took excellent care of all his children under difficult situations. Getting him out a little would be nice, but he does have some back issues that prevent him from sitting or riding for too long.
He is not very tolerant of pain.
