We need hands-on care to take care of my mother in Algonquin. Assistance with toileting and bathing is one of our requirements as well as being able to help with transfers from bed to wheelchair, wheelchair to toilet etc. My father is the primary caregiver and needs assistance with ADL care. She has a Picc line that nursing care will address and family will be trained to clean etc, however the caregiver would need to be mindful to prevent infection. Hours may very from week to week based on chemo schedule and side effects from chemo. We have two dogs in the home (medium size, one beagle and one French bulldog) and I am one of 6 children, so likely someone from the family will always be with her or in the house. Three of the children are doctors and one is a therapist in a nursing home so we have a large amount of medical knowledge.
