Carer Kiel

Care for a 92-year-old lady (55 kg, 170 cm) living alone in a family house in Kiel. She moves with a cane and a walker. She suffers from senile weakness, low blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases, dementia, vision and hearing impairments, and incontinence. She has an increased risk of falls and can be occasionally confused. She needs help with hygiene, dressing, toileting, and daily activities. Lifting or traditional transfers are not required. A commode, emergency button, and alarm mat are available. During the day, other carers are involved in her care. Night care is usually provided by a German lady living in a separate part of the house. When she is absent, the carer takes over, approximately once a month. During these times, assistance with toileting may be needed about 4 times per night; the carer can sleep and rest between tasks. A separate 2-room living area with a private bathroom and internet is available for the carer. Free time as agreed.
