I am a quadriplegic (since 2/2011) 66 year old, 250 lb male who has a neurogenic bladder and neurogenic bowel. I use a power wheelchair to get around. I am unable to sit up or turn over in bed. I do have limited use of my left index finger and left thumb to communicate on my smart phone. I am able to lift my arms up a little. I am able to move my legs a little. I am una ble to stand or walk.

I am in need of someone (preferably a tall, large person) to assist in my morning grooming and personal hygiene ablutions (I am unable to take showers as my bathroom is not handicap accessible), so you will need to sponge bathe me and lotion my skin.
Since I am unable to turn or sit up (dead weight basically), you will need to be strong to turn me. For me to be transferred to the wheelchair, you will need to use an electric Hoyer lift with a harness.
The ideal individual would preferably be a medical or nursing student, retired or semi-retired person or just a regular employed Joe Schmoe (LOL). The ideal person should be empathetic and patient with a heart of gold.
Work Exchange: You will be required for approximately 1-1.5+ hours each morning (5 days/week) to assist me with leg/feet and arms/hand/fingers exercises, range of motion and stretches, sponge bath, clothing and transferring me into my power wheelchair. In the evening, you will need to transfer me from my wheelchair to bed via Hoyer lift, other individual hygienic duties as assigned up to 1 hour. Non-smoker, drug and alcohol free individual only to be considered.
In exchange, you will be provided with a rent free furnished bedroom in a four bedroom house. My caregiver/best friend and his mother and I occupy the other 3 bedrooms.
The house has a medium large living room with TV and cable, kitchen, family room and dining area. There is a shared bathroom. My bedroom also has a bathroom. There is a washer/dryer for your use. We have WiFi and utilities which are included in your room exchange. Street parking and some storage space is available for your use.
There is a koi pond and waterfall in the back, in addition to a large patio, fruit trees and relaxing areas for your enjoyment.
You will be required to provide references and supportive documentation to validate your employment application/resume.
We live in the Northern Sacramento (Ridgepoint neighborhood near Foothill Farms and North Highlands neighborhoods bordering Elkhorn and Don Julio Blvds).
