Caregiver Schuld

Care for a 90-year-old elderly lady, 67 kg, 160 cm, who moves around the house with the help of a cane and uses a walker outdoors. She suffers from advanced dementia/Alzheimer's and general old-age frailty. She still has lucid moments, but forgetfulness and temporal disorientation occur. She has had a glass eye for 70-80 years, which does not limit her in any way. The lady is able to eat independently, but requires partial assistance with dressing, hygiene, and using the toilet. Assistance is needed for toileting when sitting down; she wears incontinence products that need changing, and a commode chair is available. Assistance is also required with showering, and a shower chair is available. She needs support when standing and walking. Medications are prepared for her in the morning by the health service. Care also includes companionship, communication, and walks, which are only possible with accompaniment. The lady has a difficult personality, but can also be social, so patience is important. The scope of work also includes household management for two people, meaning cleaning and laundry care; shopping is managed by the daughter-in-law, who lives in the house but is busy with work. Night duty is not regular; the lady mostly sleeps through the night. She cooperates with handling; light to moderate assistance is needed, such as a helping hand when getting up. The lady has a budgie.
