About who needs care: He's an alcoholic. Drinks round the clock. Has weak legs and having trouble getting him to use walkers. He's a kind soul, is not mean, and feels he's just old. He has short term memory issues. He has been diagnosed with depression. He has had falls. He doesn't eat much. I keep trying to get him to eat more. He sleeps on and off all day. Probably up three times during 24 hour period. I am not up with him after 8:30/9:00, unless I hear a fall. He refused to go for a detox and give up alcohol which prevents all other facilities and possibilities. I'm taking our dog and going to Pacific Grove for these days. I need a break.

About who needs care: Looking for help for my dad. He's mentally fine, and no significant medical problems. He's usually very independent, but he just got out of the hospital, so he needs help re-gaining his strength. No lifting needed. But walking beside him on his walker so he doesn't fall, and will need help showering. Light cooking, companionship, small things needed around the house (change a light bulb, do his laundry, etc), and perhaps occasional errands. My dad isn't super active, so this isn't a "high demand" job, BUT, when he needs help, I want someone to be there for him, and be genuinely caring =) Interests: playing cards, learning more about his iPhone About the care needs: My dad is mentally fine! He's never had help at the house, so this will be new for him, but he knows he needs help. He lives with my mom (she doesn't need help), so he has companionship with my mom, but he needs help with getting out of his chair, walking beside him on his walker, help with showering and in the bathroom. The personality that would work the best with my dad is someone who is engaged with him when he feels like talking, and then ask him if there are any small household things he might like -- maybe cutting his pills in half, changing a light bulb, washing the dishes, etc. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, feeding, and bathing / dressing.
