Care for an independently living 94-year-old lady, 42 kg, 157 cm, who has reduced mobility after a fall, is incontinent, and has a hearing impairment. She is at risk of falling but is not demented. She is oriented in space and to people, partially oriented in time, has weakened short-term memory, and occasionally misplaces things. It is necessary to speak loudly and clearly. She moves with a walker with assistance, and with crutches outside the home. She manages getting up from a seated position and out of bed with assistance, depending on her current condition. At night, she needs assistance 2–3 times with toileting; she has a commode chair by the bed and uses adult diapers. Bowel movements are under control. The lady requires partial assistance with hygiene, dressing, toileting, and transfers. Washing primarily takes place at the sink, with assistance. She eats independently; it is necessary to monitor her fluid intake and regular meals. The caregiver's duties also include cooking, shopping, cleaning, laundry, general housework, accompanying her to the doctor, and minor errands. The goal is to maintain her independence and mobility.
