Caregiver Illertissen

Care for an 84-year-old gentleman, 110 kg, 180 cm, who suffers from mild dementia, age-related weakness, and has had a stroke. Despite this, he is still relatively mobile within his home environment. The gentleman is oriented, without aggressive or behavioral issues. He has slight orientation problems, therefore he needs guidance in daily activities. It is important to speak clearly and ensure regular contact and activation. The gentleman moves mostly independently, but requires support and supervision when standing, walking, and using a walker. He can lie down, stand up, and transfer himself independently and does not need to be lifted. He has a permanent urinary catheter. An outpatient care service visits twice a week to assist with showering. The caregiver oversees fluid intake, regular toilet visits, motivates the senior to move, get up, and be active during the day, and provides companionship. It is also important to remind him to take his medication and, if necessary, accompany him to the doctor. The gentleman enjoys watching television and playing board games. Night work is exceptionally needed, as the gentleman usually sleeps through the night. The duties also include household management for two people, such as cooking, cleaning, laundry, ironing, shopping, and plant care. The family is very supportive and visits regularly. His wife also lives in the household, she does not require care and is undergoing rehabilitation. A reclining bed, a toilet and shower chair, a bicycle, and a car are available. Free time by arrangement.
