Caregiver Rosenthal-Bielatal

Care for an independently living 93-year-old lady, 65 kg, 164 cm, who has a heart condition, pancreatic tumor, general senile weakness, and anxiety. She is currently hospitalized in the geriatric ward. She walks with the aid of a walker and requires support and guidance when walking. She is at risk of falling. She needs assistance when getting out of bed and can cooperate with lifting. She wears glasses, hearing aids, and incontinence products, which she changes herself for now. She requires help with personal hygiene, dressing, and toileting. The caregiver supervises fluid intake and reminds her to take medication. Nursing services visit several times a week for compression stockings. The lady is mentally oriented, very communicative, enjoys listening to music, watching television, solving puzzles, and goes for walks depending on her health status. She experiences anxiety from loneliness, especially at night. Night duty is occasional but may be required every night; the lady calls for assistance with a bell. The caregiver also handles cooking, cleaning, laundry, ironing, and plant care. The family visits her, and her son, daughter-in-law, and grandson provide care during the caregiver's days off. The caregiver has her own bathroom. Free time by arrangement.
