About who needs care: My stepfather has a degenerative muscle disease, Inclusion body myositis. He is wheelchair bound. He needs help with bathing, dressing, and bath-rooming. He cannot use the toilet and, therefore, uses urinals and a bed pan. My 74-year-old mother has been his full-time caretaker, and it has taken its toll on her. She can no longer do it. We need help in the morning to get ready and use the bathroom. Then, more help in the evening to get ready for and into bed for the night. Mentally, he is completely with it and is able to communicate well. About the care needs: Someone that likes sports would be great but is not necessary. Someone with a calming personality would be preferable. Services needed include: feeding, bathing / dressing, and mobility assistance.
