About who needs care: Looking for care for my older brother who lives with me. He has had a TBI since 2008. He is fully mobile, though he does have a bit of paralysis on his right hand and cannot grip fully. Speech was also affected, he can talk but he may forget words. His comprehension is slower, and would need someone who could speak slower with basic vocabulary. He may say yes when he means no and never likes to complain so you have to be observant if he seems uncomfortable. He is a very nice and gentle soul. He used to train kungfu for many years so he loves martial arts though he doesn't practice daily anymore. He is artistic and likes drawing or making up stories. He loves nature and watching movies. He also loves music and dancing. An ideal day for him would be planning a simple activity to get him out of the house for a bit, I work from home and take care of him but that means he mostly sits at home all day. I'd really like for him to do more and possibly learn some life skills again like cooking and what not. He's open to trying new things. About the care needs: Preferably a male, just because when a woman is very nice to him with his TBI he may mistake it for more than what it is and wouldn't want anyone to feel uncomfortable. Someone who is patient and would be nice if they have experience with mentally disabled people. He is a big guy 6'2'' and about 280lbs so perhaps someone is somewhat athletic in case of any emergencies. Someone who fun, caring and interested in similar things such as music, dancing, art, movies, nature and trying new things. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, and companionship.
