About who needs care: He is a Vietnam Combat Veteran with a 100% disability rating with the VA. He is a Native American Chaplain and recently has had half of his left foot amputated. He just returned home after 6 months in the VA hospital. He is a brittle diabetic and has PTSD. He will need some companionship and assistance in moving around the house. He has an electric scooter, a wheelchair, and walkers, as well as a walking boot. He needs to take his medications on time and his insulin several times a day. He is capable of doing this, with a reminder. He will need help with meal preparation, as he has been non-weight bearing on what is left of his left foot.
About the care needs: Preferably a veteran, with an open mind and heart. Redfeather is quite capable and driven to be as independent as possible. He doesn't like to be told what to do. He needs empathy and understanding.
