Caregiving for a 92-year-old senior (165 cm, 80 kg) who is bedridden. She suffers from osteoarthritis and high blood pressure but is mentally fit. Due to osteoarthritis, she is unable to move her legs, and her overall mobility is very limited. The senior is incontinent (urine and stool) and wears protective underwear. Given her health condition, she sleeps most of the time.

The caregiver provides complete bed care – assistance with personal hygiene, dressing, regular incontinence care, meal serving, medication reminders, and shared meals. Care also includes social activities – conversations, simple games, and watching television. The family handles shopping or can participate along with the caregiver. The caregiver is also involved in household cleaning, laundry, ironing, and preparing fresh meals.

Night service is as needed, i.e., if fluid administration or other care is required. The senior cannot lift herself; all care is provided in bed, with a bed, special anti-decubitus mattress, and toilet pad available.

The senior's son lives independently in the same house and can assist if necessary. Family and other relatives live nearby and can assist if needed. There is also a dog in the house. The caregiver has a private room with a bed, wardrobe, and table.
