About who needs care: Peritoneal Dialysis patient-he does dialysis at night. We have someone to help during the night. He is recovering from hospitalization of the flu. He is very weak and needs help to use the bathroom and to get up and out of bed during the day. We don't need help with meals but we do need help with feedings. Also need help with transfers to and from chair and moving him to avoid pressure sores. He enjoys music and karaoke. About the care needs: He is pretty heavy, weighs around 170 lbs, so it would need to be someone who can help move that much weight. He has a nice sense of humor, so someone that can play along with it. Mentally he is not all there yet since the hospitalization interfered with his dialyis and he is still recovering. He is scheduled for physical therapy during the week at home. He would need help until he recovers and is strong enough to do ADL's on his own. Services needed include: feeding, bathing / dressing, and mobility assistance.
