Occasional Respite Care

My husband, age 62, has had Parkinson's for 16 years. Jim is intelligent, articulate, mobile, and self-sufficient. He does not use his walker often, but does on occasion. He enjoys playing chess, reading, and working on his airplane models. Jim loves to discuss theology and religion. He needs to be reminded to take his medications (I prepare Jims medications weekly, organizing them into 5 doses/day.) I am looking for an occasional respite care giver for when I travel to see our children. I am looking for someone who would fix a meal for Jim and stay with him for an hour or two every day when I am gone. The ideal person would prepare a meal, play a game of chess or engage in conversation, and check up on Jim daily while I am away.
