Carer Koblenz

Care for an 85-year-old gentleman, 70 kg, 175 cm, who has had a stroke and is currently mostly bedridden. He moves with the help of a wheelchair and cannot stand up on his own due to lack of strength. His left arm has limited mobility; he can lift it slightly. He can move his legs slightly. His speech is weakened, and he is undergoing speech therapy. Physiotherapy is provided in the home environment, with a physiotherapist visiting directly. The gentleman is completely dependent on assistance with dressing, personal hygiene, and toileting. Comprehensive care is required, including diaper changes, hygiene, and daily nursing care. Deep bedsores are present, necessitating consistent skin care and repositioning. Transferring from bed to wheelchair is done using a patient lift, which is available along with an adjustable bed and wheelchair. This is a full transfer with assistance; the gentleman tries to cooperate as much as possible. Part of the care includes transferring him to the wheelchair for short walks. Night care is not required. The household is managed by his wife; the carer focuses exclusively on the gentleman's care.
