Help take care of three elderly people
The experience
My mother and two uncles live together in the same house. They all can get around. Two of them are independent; one has Alzheimer's, but there is someone without mobility problems. We need someone to keep them company at night, who can give them their medications, and stay with them until they sleep. They are very nice elderly men.
