We are looking for 1 or more caretakers to provide approximately 4 hours of care a week for my wife who has ALS. We are looking for support between 10:00 p.m. and 12:00 a.m. on Sunday and Monday nights. We are open to slightly different hours on each night if it works better for you. The current care needs include helping her with some PT exercises, providing medicine or food via a feeding tube, bathroom/toileting support, flossing/brushing teeth, changing, and transfer from power chair to bed using a power Hoyer lift, and possibly light housekeeping. Looking for a caring, patient, and compassionate, non-smoking person who is comfortable working with someone in a power chair full time. Experience operating a Hoyer lift, power chair, cough assist, mouth "vacuum", feeding tube, and a breathing device (BIPAP) is a plus.
