Homeshare opportunity

Looking for an energetic home placement for a 20 yr. old young man. This individual is has CP (but is ambulatory and has a power chair to use for long distances), scoliosis, a developmental delay, epilespy and is Deaf. Fluency in ASL is mandatory. No behavior issues, but training in the field of Special Education would be an asset as boundaries need to be reinforced. He is happy, pleasant, funny, kind, and loves to be involved in social activities. Successful applicant needs to be aware that mobility is slower and patience is needed for all activities. The home would need to have space for him to move around, open floor plans are ideal. He needs assistance with all self care: bathing, teethbrushing, dressing. Although independent in a lot of areas and capable of learning new tasks, this person is full-time care and requires 24 hour supervision. He loves fast cars, trucks, planes, video games, camping, boating and movies (action). He is currently living in Port Hardy BC, but has attended South Slope Elementary and Burnaby South Secondary for the past 11 years. The plan is for him to move back to the Lower Mainland so that he can access the Deaf community and have employment, social and recreational activities more readily available to him.
If you feel this person would be a match for your home, please contact Sharon Magee at 250 949-6052.
