Caregiver Darmstadt

Care for an elderly married couple living together. The 89-year-old gentleman, 65 kg, 175 cm, moves around the household with the help of a walker; his gait is unsteady and there is a risk of falling. He suffers from dementia/Alzheimer's, sometimes becomes significantly confused, and his short-term memory is weakened. His eyesight is severely impaired due to macular degeneration (approx. 5% visual ability), and he is deaf in one ear. He suffers from urinary incontinence and uses protective pads, but manages the toilet independently. He is oriented in time, space, and to persons. The 86-year-old wife, 75 kg, 160 cm, moves with the help of a walker. She suffers from cardiac arrhythmia (atrial fibrillation) and has a history of bowel disease. She uses incontinence aids as frequent bowel movements can occur; she goes to the toilet independently during the day. She has limited mobility and needs motivation to move and use her walker. She is fully oriented in time, space, and to persons. Both seniors require partial assistance with dressing and personal hygiene. The care also includes companionship, communication, and support in daily life, such as short walks or reading. Lunch is provided via delivery; other meals need to be prepared. The job includes household management such as shopping, cleaning, laundry, and general housekeeping, with shops accessible on foot. Night work is not required for the gentleman; for the lady, it is required based on the current situation, not daily. Lifting is not required. Crutches, an adjustable bed, a wheelchair, and a commode chair are available.
