About the job
My husband is in his early 70s and hemi-plegic -- one side of his body is paralyzed and he has poor balance. He is 5'11" and 165 lbs, and this job requires significant strength to provide appropriate care. His most important care needs are: * Exercise (~2 hrs/day) -- assistance walking, which requires significant support from a caregiver in addition to a hemi-walker, as well as stretching and balance exercises. * Getting him out of bed and dressed * Showering - getting him in, washing his body, drying, lotion, etc. * Transferring him between wheelchair and toilet * Medication management * Meal prep - making, blending, and serving his food * Help with household management -- dishwashing, tracking his supplies, preparing his supplies for travel Looking for: Someone strong, bright, and personable. Quick learner who understands precision.
