About who needs care: My adult Son is a T2 paraplegic. He is having shoulder surgery soon and will require someone to assist him with daily tasks who has experience in handling patients with post surgical needs. He requires range of motion on his legs daily and assistance with showering as needed. Also dressing and transferring into the wheelchair. About the care needs: My son would prefer someone with physical strength but with a gentle touch as repositioning his body and transferring from bed to wheelchair will be required. The ideal caregiver should be someone knowledgeable and skilled with range of motion and hopefully available long term. Services needed include bathing / dressing, range of motion, transferring and repositioning.
