Care Provider For Special Needs Adult - Wednesdays - Colorado Springs 80904 Preferred Times: 7am to 5:30 pm My brother was born with Tuberous Sclerosis. On Wednesdays we need a Care Provider from 7am to 5:30 pm. Care needed includes morning routine of getting out of bed and taking a bath in his handicap accessible tub (this is one of the highlights of his day, as he enjoys sitting in the tub for 45 minutes with the sprayer hose), getting dressed after the bath, changing and washing bed linens, preparing breakfast and assisting with breakfast, lunch and dinner, assisting with medications, supervision during the day, assistance as needed with transfers, assistance with toileting, and general supervision, as well as getting out preferred toys or activities for him during the day. He is non-verbal and uses a wheelchair, but can transfer to sofa or toilet on their on (with just a little assistance adjusting position when seated). He is unable to stand on his feet, as his feet contracted due to a lengthy illness when he was young. He can knee-walk on his own. He does need assistance toileting and wears pull-ups. He can feed himself if you place food on his fork or spoon and he can drink from a glass. The family will be home when you are caring for the individual, should you have questions or need assistance. Meds are oral liquid and chewable pills - which we assist with - meds are given on spoon or liquids in an oral syringe. He takes his meds very well. Our primary care giver has been with us for over 20 years, but we need someone on her days off. There are other days and times available in addition to Wednesdays. Someone who is not talkative is a good fit. You can watch TV at a low volume while sitting in the room with him.
