About who needs care: I am diabetic with severe neuropathy, COPD, CKD, chronic pain and hypertension. Everyday tasks are difficult most of the time and impossible at others. My husband is retiring after several major surgeries, so we are both incapable of keeping up with the housework, cooking, laundry, etc.
We have one very friendly older dog. He is a Welsh Corgi who sheds heavily. If dog hair was currency we would be wealthy.
As far as personal care goes, we are still capable, so we are looking for someone who will get our home back in shape. As a former neat freak, this mess is hurtful to me personally.
My best day would be one with me waking up in a bed with clean sheets, clean laundry, clean floors, and a sink with no dirty dishes.
I will be honest, the house is filthy. It is very small and was easy for me to keep up when I was better and working. I believe with some able-bodied help it could be better in no time.
About the care needs: Ideally, a kind and patient person who likes dogs would be great. My husband will be difficult to convince at first, but he is a good guy. He knows we need help. He'll come around.
Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, and light housekeeping.
