My son, 31 lives with us and is in a wheelchair due to muscular dystrophy. My husband and I like to be free to travel and we have a dog. We try to keep some part-time caregivers for him, but our live-in caregiver is moving on at the end of the month. We offer a free/reduced room with shared bath in exchange for caring for him and our dog when we are gone, and you would get paid for any hours of regular care you did for him. He gets state paid attendant care at the rate of $16.45/hr for his basic care. He actually works full time, so you could work during the day elsewhere if you wanted to. We would not expect 24/7 care. Like I said, we try to keep some part time caregivers to give a break to anyone doing most of the hours. I do a lot of the misc. daily things unless I am traveling. He has mostly 2 hrs. shifts for care to get him up and dressed in the morning, then when he gets showered and into bed at night. There are also 2 more hours for a meal shift or other needs during the day. (6 hrs. daily, plus a few misc. available from time to time.) He is moved with a Hoyer lift as he is not able to stand on his own. He is able to tell you how to do things and what he needs, so experience is not necessary. If you are interested, please reach out.
Thank you for considering this.
