About who needs care: They are wheelchair bound and, with assistance, can use a sideboard to get on/off bed and toilet. They enjoy watching soap operas, cooking, Bingo, and taking care of others. Their ideal day is waking up early, having a hot breakfast and a cup of coffee, doing some type of activity, catching the soaps, eating a delicious lunch, having a nap, and having a hot dinner. They would do other activities including going on walks and doing their physical therapy to build strength. About the care needs: A positive, patient, and joyful personality is one that would fit well. You will need to know how to operate a slide board and lift, and how to perform daily hygiene including baths, putting on adult briefs, assisting with dressing, and wiping up, but that training can be provided.
