Need help locating caregiver for father/ 4days/St. Louis

Hi, i don't know if its ok to post this type of thing.

My dad would like to attend his Lutheran Church 55th year reunion in St. Louis May 30th through June 3rd.

He is paralyzed left side due to a stroke and needs assistance. My mom has chronic pain issues and doesn't think that she can help him dress, bathe etc. and get him to the functions. Neither one would have a good time and he really wants to go!

I am in nursing school and cannot attend with him, also have 6 disc herniations and couldn't physically handle it!

Can anyone recommend an agency, or private duty that could help at various times during that 4 day period? It would probably be the 31st through the 3rd mostly as they are arriving a day before the reunion to relax a bit. They would be flying out the 3rd at noon.

I don't know who to call there or how to go about it. Person needs to be a bit flexible on hours and don't know if an agency would do that. Private duty would be better, although not sure how to find a reliable trustworthy person or persons.

Any suggestions would be very helpful!

Thanks,

Karen
