About who needs care: Robert's main condition is Glioblastoma in right temporal lobe. His right side is down after a stroke during surgery to remove the tumor. He now has aphasia. His vitals are perfect and his left side is strong. He is 62 years old. Robert loves music and used to play guitar and sing. Robert has multiple therapies during the day - 9 per week total for Speech, Occupational, and Physical. He works hard during his therapies. Typical day is up at 9, morning therapies, lunch, afternoon therapies, nap, listen to or play music, dinner, bedtime. I work at home during the day and need someone to ensure my husband is cared for and keeps to his schedule. About the care needs: Robert works well with men and strong but kind women. I would hope/expect this person to sit in on therapies so they can practice with him outside of the therapy time. For PT, I hope they would assist, especially when practicing walking. Robert has Aphasia so someone patient and kind when he gets frustrated when no one understands him. Someone who loves music would be great. If they play guitar or piano, that would be perfect.
