München · Germany
Care for an independently living 86-year-old gentleman, 65 kg, 167 cm, who lives alone and moves with the aid of a walker. He suffers from dementia, sometimes becomes confused, especially in the evening, but is calm, sociable, and enjoys conversation. He has a weakened bladder due to prostate issues, so he wears incontinence briefs preventatively. About fifteen years ago, he suffered a heart attack and has an implanted defibrillator. He is a smoker, speaks Turkish, and does not consume any pork. He moves independently, requires partial assistance with personal hygiene and dressing, as well as with changing incontinence products as needed. He eats independently, but it is important to ensure adequate fluid intake. He enjoys watching television and taking walks, which should be done with accompaniment. He wishes to do as many activities as possible himself, so support and guidance are primarily needed. The caregiver's duties also include household management such as cooking, shopping, cleaning, and laundry care. Shops are within walking distance; the family assists if needed. Escort to doctors is necessary. A walker and a walk-in shower are available in the household. Overnight presence of the caregiver is necessary, as the gentleman sometimes gets up at night and may become confused. Based on his current condition, it is necessary to check if he needs assistance; some nights he sleeps through without waking, while other times he may wake up three times. Lifting is not required.
