About who needs care: Hi, my mother, Barbara, has primary progressive multiple sclerosis and requires total physical assist for all daily activities. She lives in her own home in Rita Ranch and we have several caregivers. I do 6/14 of the care shifts per week. She needs about two hours of care in the morning (about 8:30-10:30a). This includes doing her pericare and brief change bed level, lower body dressing bed level, brief stretching for legs, transfer from bed to wheelchair, upper body dressing at chair level, oral care and grooming, making her smoothie for breakfast, then making her lunch (usually sandwich with sliced apple and chips/crackers) and setting her up with her supplies/food before you leave. I live less than a mile away and am available for training, ongoing support, and questions. We will need the Friday and Saturday morning coverage starting 12/6. More shifts may be available if interested. About the care needs: Experience preferred but not required. This person should be patient, open to learning, and have a compassionate personality. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, feeding, bathing / dressing, and mobility assistance.
