Caregiver Mogendorf

Care for an 83-year-old gentleman, 70 kg, 177 cm, who suffers from Parkinson's disease (manifesting mainly as hand tremors), advanced dementia, and incontinence. The dementia is significantly advanced; the gentleman is very forgetful, not oriented in time or space, but still recognizes people. New medication is currently being adjusted. When he realizes his limitations, he tends to become frustrated, thus a calm, patient, and sensitive approach is necessary. Despite his illness, he is in very good physical condition, enjoys movement, and used to play tennis in the past. The gentleman primarily needs supervision, guidance, and direction during daily activities. He does not require physical assistance with personal hygiene and dressing, but needs motivation and reminders to wash, change into clean clothes, and perform routine tasks. He requires partial assistance when visiting the toilet. Due to dementia, he can become apathetic, lack initiative, and tends to sleep a lot during the day, so it is necessary to establish a daily routine and motivate him to engage in activities to improve his sleep at night. The duties include meal preparation, shopping, cleaning, laundry, household management, companionship, supervision, and support in organizing the day. An important part is also assisting the senior's daughter and supporting the household's operation. Night work is not required. Lifting is not necessary. Free time by arrangement.
