Caregiver needed for gentle senior in beautiful location
My father is a good-natured and engaging 91 year-old. He has early-stage vascular dementia which causes him to be forgetful and sometimes confused. He requires company, supervision at meals (to administer his medications), and a willing walking companion to accompany him on short outings to the local beach. In our house there is a cat and one working adult. Please email me to discuss (details below).
