Basic responsibilities include but are not limited to full medication assistance, lifts and transfers, repositioning, bowel and bladder routines, prescribed therapies such as speech, physiotherapy, bathing and grooming, meal planning and food preparation, feeding, laundry, light housekeeping.  On occasion carefully monitored pet care is required.
