Caregiver Illertissen

Care for an 84-year-old gentleman, 110 kg, 180 cm, who suffers from mild dementia, senile weakness, and has had a stroke. Despite this, he is still relatively mobile in his home environment. The gentleman is oriented, without aggressive behavior or behavioral problems. He has slight orientation problems, so he needs to be guided in daily activities. It is necessary to speak clearly and ensure regular contact and activation. The gentleman moves mostly independently, but needs support and supervision when standing, walking, and using a walker. He lies down, gets up, and shifts independently, and does not need to be lifted. He has a permanent urinary catheter. An outpatient nursing service visits twice a week to provide showering. The caregiver oversees fluid intake, regular toilet visits, motivates the senior to move, get up and be active during the day, and provides companionship. It is also important to remind him to take medication and, if necessary, accompany him to the doctor. The gentleman enjoys watching television and playing board games. Night work is required exceptionally; the gentleman usually sleeps through the night. The work also includes household management for two people, such as cooking, cleaning, laundry, ironing, shopping, and caring for flowers. The family is very supportive and visits regularly. The wife also lives in the household; she does not require care and is undergoing rehabilitation. An adjustable bed, toilet and shower chair, biczkel and a car are available. Free time by arrangement.
