About who needs care: My uncle is mentally disabled. His mental capacity is that of a child. Also, the right side of his body is contracted due to a stroke he suffered in his 30s. My uncle loves magazines, dollar bills and sticks of gum. Right now, he isnt steady on his feet, so he uses depends pull ups. I have to assist him in hygiene care because of that. About the care needs: Ideally I would like to have a strong male caregiver, as sometimes my uncle can be dead weight when I try to clean him up on his bed. I am looking into getting a lift to use here at home, to help make things easier for myself as well as future caregivers. If a caregiver speaks our native language, Samoan, that would be a plus, but its not required. Services needed include: feeding, and bathing / dressing.
