Caregiver Würzburg

Care for an 82-year-old gentleman, 115 kg, 170 cm, who is wheelchair-dependent and suffers from Parkinson's disease, frailty, and early-stage dementia. Following a fall, his mobility is significantly limited, and he requires gradual mobilization. Mentally, he is doing well; he communicates and is oriented in time, space, and regarding people. The gentleman has a catheter and also uses a urinal bottle and a commode chair when needed, requiring assistance with transfers and hygiene. He also wears incontinence aids preventatively. He is completely dependent on help with dressing, toileting, and most personal hygiene tasks, although he can partially manage some activities himself, such as brushing his teeth, washing his face, or a short shower. Hygiene is performed on a shower chair or at the sink. Assistance is needed with transfers to the shower toilet, shaving, changing clothes, and handling compression stockings in the morning and evening, possibly in cooperation with the nursing service. When getting up, he leans on an aid but requires support and slight lifting. He eats independently; the caregiver is responsible for cooking, shopping, cleaning, and laundry. Walks are only possible in a wheelchair. Nighttime care is not required. The gentleman lives at home with his son, who works and is usually at home around lunchtime, so managing the household for two people is also part of the job.
