About the job
About who needs care: limited mobility. Big guy, 225 pounds. according to PT, he needs 25% assistance in transferring from bed to walker or wheelchair and walker to livingroom lift chair. and Walker to bathroom. He can do it, but sometimes needs a boost with the belt strap. He needs 50% assistance with putting on shirt and pants and depends. Broke his leg in August and has not been able to walk unassisted. Weak. 3 of his kids live just 2 miles away and his grandson lives next door if there is ever a need for help. Our biggest challenge at the moment is him using the uranal or making it to the bathroom to pee. And he likes to EAT and is a messy eater (we got the bibs!) About the care needs: at 91 his filter is not as good as it should be. He swears, he is bossy, He is always looking for a snack or a drink (not water) or talking about his next meal. Services needed include: feeding, bathing / dressing, and mobility assistance.
