My dad needs a caregiver who is qualified to handle emergency situations, he has a history of strokes and a heart condition. Someone who is willing to be patient and understanding while getting to know him as it may take him some time to start to allow people to help him. He likes to be independent but needs help with basic household chores such as laundry, cleaning, transportation to appointments. He needs a friendly companion as he is lonely living on his own with no local family or friends.
