Caregiver Ichenhausen

Care for an elderly couple in their shared home. The 71-year-old lady, 167 cm tall and weighing 64 kg, is currently receiving partial stationary healthcare. She suffers from dementia, Parkinson's disease, high blood pressure, and has a history of stroke. She is partially incontinent, primarily using absorbent products at night, and has affected speech centers. Her mobility is largely preserved; she can get into and out of bed independently, stand, walk, and transfer without assistance. She is time-disoriented and sometimes unaware of the current day. It is important to communicate with her directly, offer encouragement, and keep her engaged. In her free time, she enjoys walks, reading, watching television, and playing board games. She does not yet require assistance with personal hygiene, dressing, or toileting. The 73-year-old gentleman, 180 cm tall and weighing 82 kg, suffers from the after-effects of multiple strokes, heart disease, and cancer. In the past, during resuscitation, he experienced prolonged oxygen deprivation to the brain, resulting in significant short-term memory impairment and cognitive deficits. He is fully mobile, gets out of bed independently, sits, stands, walks, and transfers without assistance, and is not incontinent. In his free time, he enjoys walks, listening to music, reading, watching television, and playing board games. The caregiver reminds both seniors to take their medications. Nighttime care is not required. Starting August 4, 2026, the gentleman will undergo three major surgeries under general anesthesia over two weeks. A minimum two-week hospitalization is expected. Depending on the course of the surgeries and recovery, he may temporarily require assistance with dressing upon returning home. The daughter also lives in the household but is usually at work for approximately 50-60 hours per week. The second daughter visits the family regularly, and both daughters help organize care. Relatives visit approximately once a week. The caregiver's duties include cooking, general housekeeping, laundry, ironing, and accompanying them on shopping trips; shops are also within walking distance. Every Tuesday, both attend a day care center from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM, to which they are transported by a shuttle service. Free time is arranged by agreement.
