A typical day at work can be getting your client ready for the day , maybe go to a doctors appointment and or shopping ,banking . The first part is easier sad than done sometimes you need need to toilet your client shower or bath ,groom , dress then make breakfast ,then figure out if you are taking the bus or your own automobile . then put the client down for a nap .
Then finally get your client ready for bed . The easiest is partially helping someone they help with a cane or walker they toilet themselves you assist in there daily needs .A person who is severely 
handicapped e.g. Spinal Injuries  you will need to assist in all of the tasks and more and usually a lift is involved . You will be involved with the persons who live in the houshold or loved ones as well that is just part of being an aid for someone who needs help .

I typically work one hour in the evening, and an hour and a half in the mornings on the weekend. After his evening Range of Motion exercises, I help my client get ready for bed by brushing his teeth, washing his hands and face, emptying his catheter bag, and using the track lift to put him to bed. I usually work 2 to 3 evenings per week. On the weekends, we do his leg exercises, then I use the track lift to put my client into his commode as per his bowel routine, brush his teeth, wash his hands and face, and make his breakfast. I also make his bed and prepare his breathing machine.

You will make blister packs ,operate a lift cook ,Do laundery it is totaly different from a long care facility . There is lots of one to one as you are doing everthing they cannot do in life to survive on a daily base sometimes it is short term perhaps just untill they are healed enough from surgery . Some perons are young some are middle aged some are elderly . Many diferent backgrounds and cultures .

A typical day at work is when the patient is ill, you need to be more patience and understanding, and give the best for the comfort and extra care. The hardest part of job is that you could almost feel how they suffer if the pain strike. The most enjoyable part of the job is when they make a litle trick, they can make you laugh sometimes, and I enjoyed listening about the story of their past.

RAPS has  allowed me to choose my hours of work and locations so that I may work independently and yet, be a part of the big Heath Care Picture . 
I wake up each morning looking forward to going to work. RAPS was essential in matching me with the most suitable client for my skills and personality.  

Thank- you For the great opportunity!

I learned a great amount of not only new skills but also different techniques. Working with the disabled really changed my perspective on all aspects of life, it was great to share my experiences and also listen to their experiences through out the time I worked as a care giver

a typical day at work is getting my client prepared for the day, such as washing the clients face, brushing teeth providing daily medication and breakfast made. hardest part of the job is getting the client perfectly into her wheelchair to her comfort. most enjoyable part is going shopping an enjoying the day out.

I love working there,but I am looking to be able to help more people in different work settings. Have been working with them for over 27 yrs and I do recommend them to others

I worked with them for only a short period. It is great for casual work and if you love to travel in all types of weather. Because, you choose which clients you'd like to have an interview with and it depends on the job description.

My role was to sort and reorganize the clothes. Although, it could use some vacuuming. The staff there were very friendly and overall, a great way of gaining volunteer hours when I needed it.
