[quote=Anonymous]Here are our needs: He needs someone to manage his medications and feeding g-tube tube (aides will not want to do this).

He needs someone to adjust his bed, get his TV remote, clean up his diaper/urinal, help him sit up, help him try to walk if he wants (the rehab place claimed he was walking, I have yet to see it). I believe in reality he is likely to be largely or entirely bed bound. He will need help bathing/sponge baths. He will need help to ensure he does not get bed sores.

He is mentally competent and with it and is a generally pleasant person.

I would pay for 24/7 nursing care, if I could get an agency to arrange it. Maybe for now we could get away with not having anyone in the overnight and just having him have a call button to reach my mother for emergencies. But my preference would be to have care at night.

I appreciate any help/advice you can give. I recognize this is going to be a huge lift. I am lucky in that I have a reasonable amount of time off from my job, and $. I wish my parents had moved into assisted living long ago but they have always been adamant that they want to stay at home and this is what they did for their parents. I have no idea how they found caregivers, I think it was word of mouth. [/quote]
