My husband was diagnosed with ALS 6 1/2 years ago. He is confined to a wheelchair and nearly completely paralyzed. Because I have a bad back and three young children, I need someone who is able to to bed at night.
Responsibilities include
Getting him undressed
assisting him in using a urinal bottle
brushing his teeth and hair
washing his face
using a Hoyer lift to get him into bed
We typically pay $35 per night or $50 per night after 10 PM. The entire routine should take 30 to 40 minutes to complete when you would be finished for the night.
You should have experience caring for a patient in a wheelchair and be knowledgeable of safe transfer techniques
Please describe your experience in your email. Ideally, we are looking for someone seven days a week, but also let us know what evenings you are available.
