St. Augustin Caregiver

Care for an 85-year-old gentleman living alone, weighing 110 kg and 174 cm tall, who is mobile without aids. He suffers from early-stage dementia and has an increased risk of falls. He occasionally becomes mildly confused and appears calmer and slower than he used to be, but is otherwise largely self-sufficient. He manages dressing, personal hygiene, eating, and toileting independently. He can prepare his own dinner; the caregiver is to prepare breakfast and lunch. It is important to oversee regular medication intake. The gentleman is to remain as independent as possible, therefore a natural approach and support without being overbearing is required. Household duties include managing the home, cooking, shopping, cleaning, and laundry. The supermarket is nearby, and the train station is approximately 100m from the house, with connections to a larger center. A bicycle may be available. On Fridays from 2 PM to 6 PM, the gentleman attends a seniors' meeting, for which transportation is arranged. Doctor's appointments and larger shopping trips can be managed by his children. Nighttime care is not required, except exceptionally in case of a fall or sudden deterioration of his health. The caregiver has a private bathroom available.
