Job description
Hi there! I'm a fun, active, and energetic 53-year old male quadriplegic looking for 1-2 people to help with my assisted daily living (ADL) activities. I work Monday - Friday and need to leave by 7:45 am (I drive myself). I also need help weekend mornings, but the starting schedule is flexible.
Hours: Mon/Wed/Fri from 6:00am - 8:00. Tues/Thurs. from 5:30am - 8:00am. Weekend mornings are also 2-3 hours, but we start later. There is some flexibility, which we can discuss. I also need Monday - Sunday evening help with dinner and getting transferred to bed.
**Some morning and evening can be shorter shifts and/or have some flexibility of start time. The goal is to get the caregiver a minimum of 30 hours. I paid direct by check or other electronic methods.
Workday mornings consist of the following routine:
- M/W/F we begin with assisted transfers from bed to shower chair. On T/TH/Sat/Sun, we begin with a suppository bowel program. On all mornings, we then proceed to the bathroom in my shower chair for a routine shower.
- Once complete, you will transfer me back to bed. You'll then change my external catheter and dress me.
- You'll then help me into my electric wheelchair, and we'll go back to the bathroom for basic hair and grooming help.
- The morning routine takes roughly an hour on M/W/F plus an additional hour on T/TH for the bowel program.
- Once I leave, there will be some clean-up and light house keeping and/or errands. These activities are needed to fill the 3-hour schedule. The hours can be adjusted between days if you need. I do have a housekeeper that cleans every other Monday.
Two of my daughters live with me and can help with basic things (meal prep etc.) on occasion if needed.
No experience (CNA etc.) is required but it is a plus. All job duties can be learned if you are willing and eager. I weigh 175-180 pounds, so there is a physical aspect to the job that cannot be avoided. I have a hoyer lift available if needed. Most people in my life of medium build handle the transfers easily enough.
I am looking for someone DEPENDABLE (if you don't show up, I'm stranded), caring, and easy going. If you are looking for something short-term, please do not apply. I have previously had people fill this role for years at a time. My home care helper, daughters (when available), and friends are kind and respectful people who treat people right; I am looking for the same from you.
I do have a large upstairs room with it's own shower. It's available for live-in care if preferred by the applicant.
Please include a resume and any other information you believe is relevant. I'm looking to interview people immediately.
Thank you!
Jim
