A 20-year-old male individual is seeking up to 40 hours per week of HPC services in his home near Doylestown, and in the community.

This individual is nearly non-verbal but currently uses a tablet with physical assistance to communicate his wants and needs, and a provider may either need to learn to assist with this method of communication or communicate through yes or no questions. A provider would need to have a solid understanding of seizure protocol and work closely with the individual and his family for overall medical needs and support. This individual likes learning about many different topics and has many interests, with Ohio State wrestling being one of his favorites! He would love to have a provider who is reliable, fun, and who can transport him to sports events or other community activities in his or her own modified vehicle. The provider would need a clean driving record and proof of insurance. The provider would also need to be comfortable with the family's two friendly dogs.
