Caregiver Odenwald

Care for an 88-year-old elderly lady, 50 kg, 160 cm, with mild dementia, osteoporosis, and increased risk of falls. The lady is blind but navigates her home environment. She suffers from anxiety and fears being a burden to others, thus requiring emotional support and companionship. She has high blood pressure. She moves with a walker; she recently fell and fractured her pelvis, making fall prevention crucial. She needs assistance when walking, especially to the toilet. Lifting is not required. Help is needed with personal hygiene, dressing, and toileting. The caregiver provides companionship, engages with her, and helps with daily activities. Medications are prepared by the husband. The caregiver's duties also include cooking, light housekeeping, laundry, and general household management. Shopping is handled by the husband, as shops are not within walking distance, and he does not require care and still drives. He has hearing difficulties, so speaking loudly and clearly is necessary. Only household tasks are managed for the husband. Night shifts are not regularly required, though assistance might be needed in emergencies. The caregiver has a private bathroom. Free time is by arrangement.
