Where to find volunteers to watch a person 3 to 4 days a week from 4 to 6 hours a day?

My brother needs some one to watch his wife when he is at work. She is in bed and does not leave it. In Palmdale, Ca?

She's bed-bound, Sorrynotsorry. I was thinking a CNA looking to work in the home would be the best bet. I don't know what they would charge in CA. They are fairly reasonable in Alabama.

How about dropping her off at an adult daycare center.

Let me know if you find a volunteer, I could use one! Lol

I agree with cwillie and irishboy. You wouldn't be able to find a volunteer to work that many hours, especially because the task is a difficult one. You would have to hire someone that would be strong enough to do the job. Good luck finding someone.

If it's volunteer work I would think family is your best bet..

Sorry, someone has to be hired. As one poster said you might get volunteers for a couple of hours to sit with someone. 12 to 24 hours per week is going to mean that the person is at some point having to help get them to the bathroom, etc.

That's too much to ask of volunteers.

You want volunteers 12 to 24 hours per week on a long term basis?? For a bed bound woman? You might find sitters willing to be there for an hour here and there, but if you are able find what you hope for it would be a miracle.

Look in the phone book for senior centers., they will have a knowledgeable list of things in your area.
