About who needs care: Wilbur is 90 years old and lives in assisted living. His strength and balance have deteriorated, but he enjoys exercise and would benefit from somebody to help with that. We can provide the exercise routines (sit to stand, marching in place seated, heel-toe taps, etc.). We are looking for someone to spend an hour or so a day, 3-4 times a week, working with him on those exercises as well as walking with his walker.
About the care needs: Wilbur is very pleasant but can be a little stubborn. Someone with a voice that carries (he is hard of hearing but can usually hear pretty well with his hearing aids), and pleasant personality, and a willingness to encourage him through his exercises is really all we need.
Services needed include: mobility assistance.
