Caregiver Needed

Care for a 71-year-old gentleman, 110 kg, 176 cm, who suffered a stroke in May and has a history of heart attack. He suffers from early-stage dementia, is significantly disoriented in time, exhibits confused speech, and often believes he needs to go to work or that his belongings are lost. He has high blood pressure and a pacemaker. He moves only with the aid of a walker; his physical condition is significantly weakened, and he is at high risk of falls. He spends a lot of time in his armchair and needs motivation to move. He requires assistance with transfers, such as sitting down, standing up, and moving to bed or the armchair. He often slides down while sitting or lying and needs to be repositioned. He requires escort and assistance with sitting and standing when using the toilet. He uses incontinence pads. Personal hygiene is managed by a care service that visits 2-3 times a day to administer medication, put on compression stockings, and assist with hygiene and showering. The caregiver's role includes help with household management, shopping, laundry, cleaning, meal preparation as agreed with his wife, accompanying him to appointments, and providing companionship. Joint walks, games, conversations, and activities that promote orientation and mobility are important. Shops are within walking distance. Night shifts are not typically required, only in exceptional situations, such as a fall. An emergency button is available. The gentleman falls approximately every two days, so increased supervision and assistance with safe movement are necessary. His wife also assists with lifting after a fall or with more challenging transfers. Free time is according to agreement. A car is available.
