He's a creature of habit who enjoys attending Catholic mass 3-4 times weekly, visiting McDonald's with friends, and maintaining his daily routines. He's a meat-and-potatoes type who doesn't snack and has consistent meal preferences. He naps in the afternoon for about two hours.

Assist with morning routine including dressing, grooming, shaving, and inserting hearing aids
Medication management and supervision to prevent drops or missed doses

Provide bathing assistance twice weekly using shower chair in bathtub
Light housekeeping including laundry, cleaning, and maintaining the home
