About who needs care: My father is in the hospital following surgery for a broken leg and is having a hard time recovering. He also is on oxygen 24/7, and due to the pain, medications, and length of time of his hospital stay, he has tended to get a bit delirious at nighttime - trying to remove his oxygen, catheter, etc. We have had a family member staying with him each night to help with this but it's getting to be too much, and we're hoping to find a care provider to help monitor him overnight and call for nursing help as needed (he knows how to use the call button but doesn't do so). In his recovery, he also has developed difficulty swallowing and is exhausted so has trouble mustering the energy to feed himself, so may need help with breakfast feeding and/or getting sips of water, Ensure/Boost drinks, etc. Exact dates/times and pay negotiable. About the care needs: Seeking a caring, attentive, communicative individual to help care for patient recovering from surgery. Currently in a hospital setting but hoping for a release to rehab facility soon. Not sure of length of need yet, so flexibility would be helpful. Services needed include: feeding, and bathing / dressing.
