Care for a 78-year-old gentleman, 83 kg, 175 cm, who moves around the house with the aid of a cane and outside the home with a walker and accompanied. He suffers from dementia/Alzheimer's, Parkinson's syndrome, and polyneuropathy. Due to his conditions, his gait is unsteady and slow. His short-term memory is significantly impaired, and he cannot organize appointments. Partial assistance is required with dressing, personal hygiene, and toileting, though he tries to cooperate. He eats independently, but it is necessary to monitor regular meals and adequate fluid intake. The gentleman is not incontinent; he wears protective aids preventively as he sometimes cannot reach the toilet in time. He is independent at the toilet during the day, but assistance is needed at night, including changing aids. Hygiene support is required for daily care, showering, hair washing, and shaving, as well as for entering and exiting the shower. The care includes supervising medication intake (which is prepared), accompanying him to the doctor as agreed with the family, running everyday errands, assisting with daily life, and maintaining a daily routine. The scope of work also includes household management such as cooking, cleaning, laundry, and shopping; shops are within walking distance. His wife also lives in the household, for whom the household must be managed and who needs relief in caring for her husband. Night duty is required approximately 1-2 times per night, mainly for assistance with toileting.

Care for an 84-year-old gentleman, 110 kg, 180 cm, who suffers from mild dementia, age-related weakness, and has had a stroke. The gentleman is still quite mobile within his home environment. He is oriented, without aggressive or behavioral issues. He has slight orientation problems, requiring guidance in daily activities. Clear speech and consistent contact and stimulation are necessary. He moves mostly independently, but needs support and supervision when standing, walking, and using a walker. He can lie down, get up, and transfer himself without needing to be lifted. He has a permanent urinary catheter. An outpatient care service visits twice a week for showering. The caregiver monitors fluid intake, regular toilet visits, encourages movement, getting up, and daytime activity, and provides companionship. Reminding him to take medication and accompanying him to doctor's appointments as needed are also important. The gentleman enjoys watching television and playing board games. Night duty is only needed exceptionally, as he usually sleeps through the night. Household management for two people is also part of the job, including cooking, cleaning, laundry, ironing, shopping, and plant care. The family is very supportive and visits regularly. His wife, who does not require care and is undergoing rehabilitation, also lives in the household. A reclining bed, a toilet and shower chair, a bicycle, and a car are available.
