Hello! I am a 37 year old male and live in Chardon with my parents. I am looking for some HPC help in the morning - someone (male or female) to help me when I get up in the morning with my tube feed, personal hygiene (bath and teeth brushing), getting dressed, and then into my wheelchair. Even though I have a small body frame, a lift is used when I am bathing. I would also enjoy someone to talk to and possibly get me outside for a walk around my allotment or just sitting on the deck. I am looking for someone 3 days a week/up to 4 hours each day starting at 8am – the days are flexible. I communicate through my communication device, am always smiling, and I like to joke around and have fun.

Mid 30's individual looking to attend sports events and occasionally try a new restaurant. This individual lives in Middlefield, so a provider who lives nearby or is fine with that longer distance would be very appreciated by the family. This person is friendly but quiet initially on meeting new folks, but soon enough he'll showcase his vast sports knowledge. He has multiple video games of many sports, so to him nearly any sport is something he greatly enjoys attending! The family would like to ask for a provider to plan out trips once every few weeks for attending events and socializing. This would initially be paid via FHBS (Family Home Based Support) Funds. Thank you!

Older gentleman looking to get out into the community once every week or two weeks to meet others and socialize.
I live near Chesterland and I like going to different restaurants and out for walks or to the movies, where I'll be happy to talk and share a lot of experiences I've had with you. Sometimes I am forgetful, but I'm very friendly so I would need a calm individual to feel most at ease. The family would be using the Metzenbaum Foundation Family Home Based Support (FHBS) funds for these outings. Schedule is flexible. Thank you!

We are seeking a male respite care provider for an 18-year-old male residing with his family in Burton, Ohio. This kind, sweet, and easygoing young man enjoys meeting new people and thrives on social interactions. He enjoys spending time at home watching television and/or listening to music. However, he too enjoys community outings, dining, and being outdoors with his family member(s) and/or provider(s). He very much enjoys music and car rides.
Communication is primarily through body language, pointing, and some vocalizations; he will vocalize his preferences when he likes or dislikes something. He requires some prompting with toileting, supervision and assistance to cut his food into smaller portions, and encouragement to drink liquids to prevent choking. He attends an adult day support program during the week and because of such, we are looking for a provider a few times a week from 2:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. If you are interested in learning more about this individual, please reach out! We look forward to meeting you.

Hello!
I am 23 years old, and I live in Chagrin Falls.
I work part-time in the kitchen and dining room of a retirement community in Chagrin Falls. When I’m not working, I enjoy music, singing, and dancing. I also like to watch movies, color, read, and play cards and board games. I am very active! I enjoy baseball, basketball, tennis, pickleball, mini golf and bowling. I also enjoy hanging out with friends, and going to restaurants.
My parents and I are always out doing things – festivals and community events, shows or musicals at Playhouse Square, sporting events, etc. We also like to go on trips!
I have Down Syndrome, Type 1 Diabetes, and I am gluten free. I’m looking for a skilled provider, who is experienced in managing Diabetes and Celiac disease. My parents would like to go on “date nights” once in a while, or, I might need a provider to take me to an activity from time to time. In order for my parents to have some respite, or for me to venture out for an activity while my parents may have other obligations, I need someone who can assist in providing appropriate care to me.
If you would like to meet me and my parents, we would welcome the opportunity! Thank you for your consideration.
