Caregiver, Dörfles-Esbach

Care for a 91-year-old gentleman living alone, 90 kg, 182 cm, who suffers from moderate dementia, general old-age frailty, and has a suprapubic urinary catheter (via abdominal wall). He recognizes familiar people and is oriented well in his home environment, but his orientation in time is impaired. Psychologically, he is calm and can communicate his needs. He moves independently, or with the help of a walking stick. He only requires occasional support when walking. He can also walk on stairs. Light assistance is sufficient for transfers, and the senior cooperates. He needs help with personal hygiene, showering or bathing, shaving, brushing teeth, dressing, and using the toilet. During the day, he uses a thigh collection bag, and at night, a larger night bag by the bed. He is independent with eating, requiring only guidance and supervision. Care also includes supporting mobility, with joint walks in the garden or surroundings according to his health status. The caregiver is responsible for complete household management, meal preparation, dining together, shopping, cleaning, and laundry. Shops are approximately a five-minute walk away, or a bus to town can be used. A bath lift is available in the household. Night work is not typically required, only in exceptional situations. Free time by agreement.
