About who needs care: My wife has Bulbar ALS. She is currently mobile but her mobility and energy are declining. I am her primary caregiver and could use some help in the afternoon primarily with meal prep and to sit with her in case she needs anything, possibly to read to her and/or take her on walks in her wheelchair. She might need an arm to learn on when she needs to walk to the bathroom now and more assistance at some point in the not too distant future when she is too weak to walk. This help will allow me time to get out of house for a quick work out, to run errands, or catch up with work in my home office.. About the care needs: Somebody who likes to cook is ideal. My wife has a feeding tube, but prefers to eat foods that are home prepared. With late stage bulbar ALS, she has trouble swallowing foods that are either too thick or too thin. She loves smoothies and soups but would love to eat other foods as well. The challenge is to make something healthy and tasty that is the right consistency. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, feeding, and bathing / dressing.
