Care for an 83-year-old gentleman, 70 kg, 177 cm, suffering from Parkinson's disease (primarily manifesting as hand tremors), advanced dementia, and incontinence. The dementia is significantly advanced; the gentleman is very forgetful, disoriented in time and space, but still recognizes people. New medication is currently being adjusted. When he realizes his limitations, he tends to become frustrated, thus a calm, patient, and sensitive approach is required. Despite his illness, he is in very good physical condition, enjoys movement, and played tennis in the past. The gentleman primarily needs supervision, guidance, and direction during daily activities. He does not require physical assistance with personal hygiene and dressing, but he needs to be motivated and reminded to wash, change into clean clothes, and perform routine tasks. He requires partial assistance when visiting the toilet. Due to dementia, he can become apathetic, lacking initiative, and tends to sleep a lot during the day, so it is necessary to establish a daily routine and motivate him to engage in activities to improve his sleep at night. The scope of work includes meal preparation, shopping, cleaning, laundry, household management, providing companionship, supervision, and support in organizing the day. An important part also includes assisting the senior's daughter and supporting the household's operations. Night work is not required. Lifting is not necessary. Free time is by agreement.
