Care for an 83-year-old lady, 65 kg, 168 cm, with dementia/Alzheimer's and incontinence. She is mobile and moves around the house independently, currently not using any aids. If needed, she should be accompanied while walking. Orientation in time, place, and person is only partially preserved. Speech is limited. The lady needs guidance with dressing; clothes appropriate for the weather should be prepared for her. She needs partial assistance with personal hygiene and toileting. She uses incontinence pants, goes to the toilet herself, but then needs help with hygiene. She needs reminders to take her medication. She requires a lot of patience and assistance with feeding, as she eats slowly and may need to be fed entirely. The caregiver is responsible for cooking, cleaning, laundry, and general household management. Shopping is approximately 300 m from the house; the daughter can also take care of shopping if needed. Night duty may be required occasionally, depending on her current condition. The lady gets up at night and goes to the toilet alone, afterwards she might need help with hygiene. Lifting is not required. While the lady's husband lives in the same house, he will be away during the current rotation. In the future, care for both spouses might be needed, with the husband's care primarily involving household management. Free time by agreement.
