a woman 89 years 165 cm 60 kg
We are looking for a caregiver for an 89-year-old lady who lives with her husband in their own house with a garden. The senior is 165 cm tall, weighs 60 kg, and is bedridden. She suffers from mild dementia, which manifests as forgetfulness, but she is neither aggressive nor delusional. She has a catheter, is incontinent (both urine and stool), and wears incontinence briefs. She suffers from rheumatism in her hands and has an open wound on her leg. She spends most of her time in bed, where she also smokes. Your main task will be to relieve her husband, who has been taking care of her until now. Care includes serving food and drinks, cutting food, emptying the catheter, regular hygiene including changing briefs, assisting with washing in bed, dressing, sitting on the edge of the bed, and repositioning. Additionally, you will need to take care of the household (cleaning, laundry, ironing, cooking fresh meals, shopping on foot – approximately 10 minutes, or using a delivery service). With the family's agreement, you may also accompany the senior to the doctor. An important part of the job is spending time together – eating, watching TV, playing board games, and having simple conversations. Night assistance may occasionally be required as needed. A reclining bed and basic aids are available, but there is no need to physically lift the senior – light assistance with movement (e.g., offering a hand) is sufficient. The caregiver has access to a separate living unit with an area of 45 m², which includes a kitchen, bathroom, bed, wardrobe, and table. Internet is available. Time off is provided for 2 half days per week, or as agreed with the family.
