About who needs care: Severe stroke victim. Can go up and down stairs with someone holding belt but should not go on own. Large amount of brain damage multiple layers. No use of right arm. Dysphasia (swallowing problems needs totally pureed food which will already be prepared and in freezer plus drinks in refrigerators). Will need taken to the bathroom mid morning for attempt at poop (has a lot of constipation though), has a Foley catheter which my son will take care of. Mostly needed to defrost and serve meals and clean up for lunch and prepare and set out for dinner when my son with serve it. Looking for 4 to 5 hours a day for one week. About the care needs: Patient is male, was six foot tall and over 200 lb (or was), so need to be strong enough to help in out of bed, down and up stairs for meals and a trip down stairs for a bathroom visit for pooping only (on Foley leg bag for urine). He cannot speak really and has severe cognitive brain damage. He can say some words but mixes up yes and no all the time. He spends most of his time in bed with sometimes going to the master bedroom to watch tv. He feels sick after every meal and always lies down in the bedroom he chose after every meal and most of the day and night. I have to leave town for a week and need meal help; for my son who sleeps a lot in the day as he has the night shift here at home. Services needed include: feeding, and bathing / dressing.
