Caregiver Schwäbisch Gmünd

Care for a 72-year-old lady, 68 kg, after brain tumor surgery. The lady is paralyzed on the right side due to a stroke, has limited motor skills, and uses a wheelchair both indoors and outdoors. Assistance with transfers several times a day is needed, with a risk of falls. She suffers from depression (takes medication) and is incontinent, wearing diapers. She does not have dementia but occasionally refuses help. She requires partial assistance with eating (sometimes needs to be fed), full assistance with dressing and undressing (husband selects clothes), and full assistance with toileting and personal hygiene. Adherence to the daily schedule, supervision of medication intake, regular appointments with a speech therapist, companionship, wheelchair walks, outings (including overnight stays), TV, games, conversations, and barbecues on the terrace are required. The husband handles accompanying her to doctor's appointments. Assistance to the toilet is needed once during the night. Her husband lives with her; he is independent in self-care and regularly takes care of the dog. He can be assisted with gardening. Meal preparation, shopping, cleaning, laundry, and winter services are needed for both. An outpatient care service visits daily (to wash and dress the lady in the morning). A cleaner comes once a week. Her son and daughter visit regularly. There is a dog in the household. The caregiver has a private bathroom.
