You will be required to handle the physical skills of lifting, handling, pushing and bending and so good general health is important. I can walk, unaided and need guidance getting into a car so the aforementioned skills are a requisite but are not used for every aspect of my life.
My personal requirements are:
• Washing and bathing in bed or bathroom
• Grooming with attention to hair, nails, feet, skin, eyes, etc
• Dealing with continence management and assisting me to maintain a bowel and bladder routine
• Assistance with dressing and undressing
• Helping in and out of bed
