A little about my experience.. Most recently I had the pleasure of taking care of a young woman with ALS. Before that, I worked for a wonderful older gentleman that was a quadriplegic. He had a tracheostomy and was fully dependent on a ventilator. I worked for him until his unfortunate recent passing. Before him, I was the primary caregiver for a great young gentleman with ALS. Also, experienced with post-stroke recovery and cerebral palsy. I am experienced with many aspects of caregiving, including range of motion exercises/stretching, bathing, manual transfers, Hoyer lifts, power chairs, shower chairs, toileting, medication management, feeding tube, tracheotomy care, ventilator, cough assist, suction, ordering and maintaining medical supplies, light housekeeping, travel, driving to appointments, meetings, and so much more. Before being a caregiver, I spent several years as a cardiovascular technologist in the Cardiac Cath Lab.
