Caregiver Aachen

Care for an 88-year-old gentleman, 70 kg, 170 cm, who has dementia, speech difficulties, and an increased risk of falling. He is oriented in the house but does not always recognize people immediately. His short-term memory is still quite good. He is not aggressive, but sometimes refuses cooperation. Following a hip fracture, he is currently undergoing rehabilitation to restore his mobility. The gentleman uses a wheelchair, into which he can sit up on his own, but requires assistance with lifting for transfers from bed to the toilet chair. He needs partial assistance with hygiene, dressing, and toileting. He eats independently and uses incontinence pads. Due to the high risk of falls, constant supervision is required during his movement. A profiling bed, walker, wheelchair, and toilet chair are available. Night work is not required; currently, his wife provides this and also administers medication. The treatment should be adjusted to ensure the gentleman is calmer at night. The caregiver is also responsible for cooking, shopping, cleaning, laundry, and assisting the wife in the household. The wife does not require personal care. The family lives nearby and is available for support. Free time is by arrangement.
