patience and understanding
What Patty said, plus--
Walkers, canes, nebulizers, and if the character needs them, colostomy
and ileostomy bags,and possibly catheters. Not really equipment, but
Depends, bed pad -- the list could go on and on depending on the
those needs.
A comode lifter-- it brings the comode up higher
Handles on shower and tub tubs
Wheel chairs if needed
A Walker
Handle by the comode to help them up and down.
A planner holder for their medicine that have days of week on it.
Sugar monitar if they are diabetic
Blood Pressure Machine
Bath and Shower Chair
A Long sprayer for bath and shower
Portable commodes, hip bath chairs, blood pressure monitors, glucose testing kits, hospital bed, in some extreme cases lifts, and wheelchairs, ramp. Oxygen and concentrators.
A laptop to record notes and appointments for each patient. Many also pass small items for range of motion exercises and strength building. I suppose it depends on what area of personal support they are giving.
