About the job

About who needs care: I have a neurological condition that has made me unable to walk and very limited use of my arms and hands. My day typically starts between 10:30-11 a.m. I need help getting out of bed and into the restroom. We use a gait belt to transfer me. Once on the toilet, I can handle the rest. Then I need help brushing my teeth, morning tea, etc. I usually use the restroom about every 3 hours. I have a standing frame I stand in for an hour to 2 hours a day. Then at about 9:30 p.m. I need help getting put back in bed. I live on the lake, and when I don't need help toileting, you would be free to do whatever. I live with my sister and her family and my nephews primarily help me but with summer coming, they need time to go do things so I will need help sporadically through the summer. I will add that we are a fun group so it wouldn't be a horrible gig! haha. About the care needs: A good fit for me would be somebody who is kind, of course. I feel like that should be a given. But also somebody strong enough to transfer me. I am about 140 lbs so with the gait belt it isn't horribly difficult. My 50+-year-old friends can do it! Also somebody personable. My sister and her husband are usually around. We're into natural stuff here, holistic healing, just an FYI. But really looking for someone who is reliable as well. Services needed include: feeding, bathing / dressing, and mobility assistance.
