Currently, I cook dinner for him if he asks me to. Or, I make a snack for him if he asks me to, or provide him and his guests (when he has them) with beverages like wine or beer. I give him his medication at 7 p.m. if he lets the day caregiver go early, and at 9 pm. Then when he's ready to go to bed i see if he wants to brush his teeth then I prepare him to move him with into his bed. I then stretch him (takes about 30min), undress him, put his night condom on if he needs it or/and put on his night urine bag. I then arrange him to sleep with up to 6 pillows, either a Styrofoam wedge between his legs or behind his back, put on his safety boots, put on his hand stretchers, prepare his A-pap machine and put it on him after i apply Chapstick for him. I turn him about every 1 1/2 to 3hrs and provide water our anything else he may need. Give him his medication between midnight and 1am. After he's ready in bed i clean the kitchen, common area, both bathrooms, and then my room. If it doesn't take long, i wipe down the scuff marks off the walls, clean the windows, and i make sure no food had fallen into drawers or behind anything. Once a week i shave his head, trim and shave his beard, trim and file his nails (hands and feet). His hands and feet are done on different days because i do it spa like. Sometimes I'm so tired i miss doing a few things... Yesterday he made a comment that i only work about an hour a night total.

you are being used and abused by someone who is violating the state labor law as well as committing workers compensation fraud.
For all that you are doing I hope you get paid really well!

I read your last post. I think you are being taken advantage of. And if possible, I would move out. Your friend is not going to find any aide to do what he expects of you for what you are being paid. First, they don't do nails at all.
