About who needs care:
My sister is 40 and uses an electric wheelchair to move around. She is considered spastic quadriplegic and can useher right hand. She has intellectual disabilities and attends a day program M-F, occasionally will stay home and attend the program via zoom.
She needs care in the mornings, transferring out of bed, full bath rooming support and then has breakfast, meds, brushes teeth and the bus picks her up by 8:30 a.m.
She returns home by 3pm, needs bath rooming, snack and social company. Dinner is made by the family and she can feed herself. She needs support for the bathroom and getting into bed by 9 p.m.
She enjoys watching Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune almost every night. She likes to play bingo, build small puzzles (24pieces), arts and crafts and playing on her cell phone. It would be a plus if the caregiver can show her how to use her phone and computer even more.
