Caregiver Ulm

Care for a 67-year-old lady, 50 kg, 160 cm, suffering from moderate dementia and depression. She has impaired time orientation and partially weakened long-term memory, therefore she needs guidance with daily activities. She has a pleasant, friendly, communicative, and sociable personality. She is mobile, walks independently, gets up, showers, dresses, and uses the toilet. She is not incontinent and does not require lifting or help with transfers. She occasionally needs advice on choosing appropriate clothing. The main role of the caregiver is to provide companionship, remind about medication intake, supervise fluid intake, and accompany her during daily activities and doctor's visits. The lady is very active, enjoys art, music, salsa, gardening, table tennis, swimming, and walks. She has planned activities every day, such as sports, occupational therapy, or Italian lessons, and attends a salsa class once a week in the evening. The caregiver should accompany her and participate in the activities as much as possible. Duties also include cooking and shopping. Cleaning is handled by a helper five days a week, and additional help comes three times a week for two hours. Night work is not required. The lady currently lives with her partner in a family house. The caregiver will be accommodated separately in the city center, in a furnished room with a private bathroom and internet. She will commute to the client's home each morning and return in the evening, the distance being approximately 2 km. Commuting is possible on foot, by bicycle, or by bus, and the caregiver arranges this independently. In case of health deterioration, the client will move to an apartment located right next to the caregiver's accommodation. Requirements include a reliable, friendly, patient, physically fit, sports-oriented, non-smoking individual with a tidy appearance, good condition, and a willingness to spend active time with the client. Punctuality, polite, and respectful behavior are important. A driver's license is an advantage, but not a requirement. A car with an automatic transmission and a bicycle are available. Free time is by agreement, and the family arranges for substitutions.
