Care for a 64-year-old gentleman, 90 kg, 189 cm, with dementia/Alzheimer's. The gentleman is friendly, calm, and rather reserved. He recognizes close persons but sometimes forgets or confuses names. His temporal orientation is impaired; he cannot reliably determine the day or time, and his short-term memory is deteriorating. He needs a clear daily routine, guidance, and assistance with individual activities. He shows no tendencies for wandering or aggression. He is fully mobile, walks independently without aids, and gets up without assistance. He can also go for short walks alone in a familiar environment. He requires partial assistance and guidance with dressing, personal hygiene, showering, hair washing, and shaving. He uses the toilet and eats independently. It is necessary to ensure adequate fluid intake and medication, which is prepared by another person. The caregiver is responsible for cooking, shopping, cleaning, laundry, handling routine errands, and accompanying him as agreed with the family. Companionship, conversations, maintaining the daily routine, and shared walks are important. A bicycle with a carrier is available. Doctor's appointments are arranged in agreement with the family. His partner also lives in the household and does not require care; for her, only household chores are managed. Night shifts or lifting are not required. Free time as agreed.
