Homecare for Dad in Yaletown Vancouver

MH
Active:

Hi, My wife and I are looking for full time support for my father who lives with us. We are looking for a live in Nurse and will provide room and board. My father suffers from a neurodegenerative disorder which makes him very rigid. He is healthy otherwise but needs help eating, cleaning and scheduling his activities during the day. You will have to be able to move him from his chair to his wheelchair as he can stand with assistance. The successful candidate will be able to maintain a regular routine for my father which starts with getting him up in the morning and ready for the day. That means giving a bath or sponge bath, sterilizing and installing his catheter and dressing him. Once dressed you will need to prepare breakfast and feed my father. He will usually take a nap and then watch some TV. For lunch he will need to be repositioned in his wheel chair. In the afternoon he normally has a treatment like a massage or go for a ride around the neighbourhood. My wife and I arrive in the evening to we all have dinner together. He then prepares for bed around 9:30pm and needs his teeth brushed and catheter changed. If we travel anywhere, you will need to travel with us and look after my father's needs. If this sounds like a task you can handle, we welcome you resume and/or application.
