Caregiver Geilenkirchen

Care for an 89-year-old lady, 52 kg, 155 cm, who is in good physical condition for her age. In the past, she suffered a hip fracture. She suffers from advanced dementia, is forgetful, and has trouble finding words. She moves around the house with a walker, sometimes without it. A stairlift is available. She needs partial assistance with dressing and undressing, personal hygiene, showering, and using the toilet. Assistance with showering is needed on Tuesdays and Fridays. She eats independently; meals need to be prepared and cut. She needs help getting out of bed in the morning and going to bed in the evening. Lifting is not required. The caregiver ensures the normal running of the household: cooking, cleaning, laundry, changing bed linen, dusting, and grocery shopping. The daughter arranges doctor's visits and undertakes larger shopping trips with the caregiver. The supermarket is about 2 km away; a bicycle or bus connection is available. The senior visits a day care center every Wednesday, and a physiotherapist comes directly to the home. Nighttime awakenings are not necessary; the senior sleeps approximately 12 hours uninterrupted. The senior lives alone in an older country house with a yard and unused farm buildings. The house is located in a rural area without shops in the immediate vicinity. The house does not have central heating; heating is provided by oil stoves with electric supplementation, which the caregiver does not need to manage. The caregiver has her own guest room with Wi-Fi, TV, and heating, as well as a new shower. Free time is by agreement.
