I'm looking for a recommendation on part-time home care for my wife's dad. He was weakened due to a recent case of pneumonia and is also experiencing paralysis in his legs. We are hoping the paralysis will be temporary (seeing a doctor tomorrow), but it makes basic tasks, such as dressing himself and fixing a meal, more difficult for him.

We are able to provide some assistance, but we both work. We are also scheduled to be out of town in a few weeks so we are hoping to hire someone to come in for short periods each day (around 2 hours in the morning and evenings) to help him out.

Many places require extended shifts or commitments that we don't really need (at least for now). Griswold Home Care (https://griswoldsa.com/about/) might offer services similar to what we need, but I'd really like a recommendation if possible as this person would be coming into our home and providing care for a family member.

Anyone have any experience with Griswold or another provider?

Call Home Instead...I used the New Braunfels office and they were great. They were pretty flexible too.

Scott, I may be following up with you today if that's okay. Things have changed dramatically over the last few weeks. My father-in-law has aggressive bladder cancer and may only have a few weeks left. He will be going on hospice, and we are hoping that we can bring him home.

Thanks for reaching out, it was great to talk with you. If there is anything else we can do to help or any questions you might have please don't hesitate to call.
