I started out assisting the client to the bathroom at night, helping her get up to the bedside toilet, and assisting with emptying the colostomy bag as well when needed. I assisted her with taking medication in the morning and fixing breakfast. At the present time, I'm just staying overnight to assist as moral/companion support.
