Hands-on Care Needed For My Wife In Macomb - My wife is 79 years ...
$20 – $20/hr • Part time • Starts Jun 8 • Macomb, MI
About who needs care: My wife is 79 years old. She is paraplegic due to multiple sclerosis and a broken hip. She uses a power chair. She hasa positive outlook and a cheerful disposition. She needs help getting in and out of bed, and with toileting and dressing. We have a Rift on Lift which we use for transfers. She loves being outside. A typical morning would involve getting out of bed, using the bathroom, washing up, and getting dressed. Then doing some wash with the help of a caregiver, looking through catalogs, and playing cards. This would be followed by another transfer and lunch. The evening involves using the toilet and getting in bed. We have added caregivers over time - one was with us for 20 years, so this is a long term position if desired. Except for some brief errands, I am home all the time.
About the care needs: A friendly, cheerful personality. Upbeat. Patience is necessary too as everything takes more time. Compassion as she has some pain. Using the lift that we have for transferring will take a few times to get used to, but someone would be here until you felt comfortable. The job is not physically challenging.
Services needed include: feeding, bathing / dressing, and mobility assistance. ... more
