Google "find caregivers" and you will find a lot of resources. Go to the senior center nearest you and ask if they can recommend someone. Ask the paid caregivers at the facility where he is now who they would recommend - a lot of them know each other. BE SURE TO SPECIFY DEMENTIA. If he hurt someone you wouldn't be liable if you go thru an agency and given his possible violent reactions to people or inappropriate behaviors, then that's what you definitely need to have.
Kadee for MC paid Home Health Care there has to be a skilled need such as: PT for ambulation. Speech for swollowing difficulty. Skilled nursing to moniter med response. When there is need for skilled service then an aide can come in for bathing. Home care as defined is meant to have an end point-meaning when goals are met they are out. Hospice is a whole other ball game.

Area Agency on Aging: (219) 722-4451 or 1-800-654-9421 This is from the above link. Area Agency on Aging has information about help for caregivers. Our local hospice organization located at the county hospital also has resources for home health care; so you might try there, too.
I've picked up several brochures for caregiving help at the annual conference in Dayton sponsored by the Area Agency on Aging. I'd have to look, but Carroll county might have some; and they do work, generally, in other counties.

Our local Area Agency on Aging got us our in-home help and medicaid paid for it. I had in-home help for 9 hours a day, 5 days a week until I had to place him in the nursing home.
About six months ago we determined we needed full time care for my DH. After a few weeks using an agency we decided to hire our own caregivers. The agency was expensive and we were not always happy with the caregivers they sent. My daughter took charge and put an add on Craig's list for experienced caregivers. For $10/hour we have excellent caregivers that we hand picked. You would be surprised how many respondents we had. This can be an extremely costly solution but we are very happy we decided to take this approach.
