Elder Care Job in Houma, Louisiana

I'm an
Individual
. My husband and I are looking for a reliable nurse who can help with his care and help bring him to and help schedule appointments. We are looking for an LPN or RN or someone who is now retired fom nursing. He requires assistiance from someone who can start IV's, insert catheters, and NG feeding tubes and giving medication. We allow the nurse to decide exactly whats needed when so that they can manage his care easier. He is 37 and was born with a congenital birth defect called Arnold Chiari Malformation along with Scoliosis and bulging disc. This has left him completely incontinent and requiring diapers, aswell as on oxygen and issues with swallowing. He has severe muscle spasms in his neck and back and shoulders. He is considered special needs because there are some specialized modifications ordered by the physician. For safety concerns his physician has him in a adult hospital crib.
