Full Time
About who needs care: Looking for in home care for both of my parents - both 86. My dad has diabetes and heart health issues but still mobile. My mother has heart and memory concerns. She doesn't drive anymore. Overall they do fairly well until recently. My brothers and myself all live in different states on the East Coast. We all feel that we are at the point that we need to have someone look in on them throughout the week. Maybe not every day but at least 3 times a week. Just starting to gather information and find what options are available for them.
About the care needs: They are very loving, compassionate and grateful people and don't like to burden anyone. They have been married for 64 years and want to take care of each other and don't like to tell each other or us when they aren't feeling or doing well. Dad can still drives and my Mom likes to get out of the house to go to the grocery store and run errands but she tires easily. Dad always wants to be there to take care of her. I want to bring them to NC with me but they wont agree to that any time soon.
Services needed include: transportation, meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, feeding, bathing / dressing, and mobility assistance.
