Hi -- Hubby is pretty helpless. Needs someone to fix food and drink for him, make sure he takes his meds, help him with clothing when he gets confused, start his shower and help him wash, etc. Some periodic incontinence. Has primary progressive aphasia so has a lot of difficulty communicating or even understanding what you say... so a lot of the support is guesswork and 'show me' and demonstrating things. He can't even put on a movie or answer the phone.

Light housework, simple meal preps, laundry included. We also have 2 very friendly dogs and a cat, so it would really help if those don't scare you. They will need out / in and watering, maybe food.

I'm having physical issues and want to get someone in to be familiar with his care, who would be able to come daily for 3 hours/ day in the event I fall, am hospitalized, or otherwise out of commission -- until we can get family members here from out of state.

So -- if you are available soon for 2-3 hours a week, and willing to be on call for more when we're in trouble -- please contact me.
