Caregiver Rangendingen

Care for an 86-year-old gentleman, 75 kg, 160 cm, who has knee and hip arthritis, urinary incontinence, and a catheter. He is fully oriented and communicates well. He moves around in a wheelchair; with a walker and support, he can walk 2-3 steps. He needs assistance with getting up and transferring, and he cooperates. He requires partial assistance with dressing, hygiene, showering, toileting, and changing the urine bag. He uses a commode chair. He eats independently; fluid intake needs to be monitored. A nursing service comes in the morning to help with hygiene. His daughter prepares his medications, and the caregiver supervises their intake. Nighttime assistance may be needed approximately once a week. The gentleman wakes up early, between 6:00 AM and 6:30 AM. The caregiver is also responsible for cooking, shopping, cleaning, laundry, and companionship. Shops are within walking distance; larger purchases are handled with the family, who live in the same town. An 83-year-old wife also lives in the household and will be present during the caregiver's initial training days. Free time is by agreement.
