Caregiver Hamburg

Care for a self-reliant 90-year-old lady, 54 kg, 160 cm, who suffers from early-stage dementia, urinary incontinence, general senile weakness, and has an increased risk of falling. The dementia manifests primarily as forgetfulness, without aggression or tendency to wander. The lady moves with a walker, is unstable, and experiences occasional dizziness, therefore supervision is required. A wheelchair is used for longer transfers, and frequent transfers occur during the day, requiring assistance (lifting). She needs partial assistance with dressing, personal hygiene, and toileting. She uses diapers, so changing them and ensuring hygiene is part of the care. The caregiver provides comprehensive care, including meal preparation, shopping (shops are accessible on foot), cleaning, and laundry care. Maintaining adequate fluid intake is also an important aspect. Great emphasis is placed on companionship and activation, such as conversations, playing games together, accompanied walks, and general companionship in daily life. Nighttime care is not regular, only exceptionally as needed (e.g., during restlessness or worsening of condition).
