In-home Disability Care
Hireup

- Since Feb 2022 I have been working through HireUp, helping people with a range of disabilities, such as chronic depression, autism, deafness, dwarfism, quadriplegics and intellectual and developmental delays.
- Disability care is challenging yet rewarding. It continuously builds my medical skills and understanding of individuals with experiences other than my own.
- I currently have three set clients: two quadriplegics and one young boy with learning and developmental delays. This workload includes: medication drawing up and administering, hygiene care, un/dressing, manual handling, complex bowel care, PEG tube feeding and care, catheter care, constant PAC and monitoring for any injuries.
