Care for an elderly married couple in their shared household. The 86-year-old lady, 80 kg, 160 cm, suffers from dementia and incontinence. Following a recent hospitalization, she is physically weakened, has impaired time orientation and short-term memory. She moves independently with the help of a walker and gets up without assistance. She needs partial help with dressing, personal hygiene, and toileting, including incontinence care. It is important to guide her, remind her of activities, and help with organizing her day. The 89-year-old gentleman, 68 kg, 170 cm, has early-stage dementia, primarily manifesting as forgetfulness and disorientation in daily tasks. Otherwise, he is physically independent, moves without aids, and manages most tasks himself. He has a stoma, which he cares for independently. He primarily needs supervision, support with his daily routine, and partial assistance with hygiene (e.g., showering). The caregiver's responsibilities include overall household care such as cooking, shopping, cleaning, and laundry care, as well as supervising medication intake (prepared in advance). This also includes companionship, communication, maintaining the daily routine, and engaging both seniors. Night care is only for the lady and is needed approximately once per night (not daily) for toilet visits. Lifting is not required. The daughter (68 years old) also lives in the house in a separate apartment unit.
