carer

Start as soon as possible. Caregiving for an 89-year-old senior woman (160 cm, 70 kg) and a 94-year-old senior man (170 cm, 70 kg) who live together in a family house in the municipality of Reppenstedt. The woman suffers from dementia, Alzheimer's disease, and incontinence; the man has polyneuropathy. Both move around the house with walkers and need to be accompanied when walking. The woman walks well but falls easily and cannot get up on her own afterward – in such cases, light support (offering a hand) is sufficient. A lifting seat is used when lifting the man. The woman is occasionally alert and sometimes tells stories; her orientation to time, place, and persons is only occasional; the man is fully oriented. Both enjoy engaging in more demanding conversations. They need partial assistance with dressing, personal hygiene, going to the toilet, standing, and walking; they eat independently. Duties include meal preparation, shopping, cleaning, laundry, exercise, and accompanying them on walks. Night-time assistance with going to the toilet is occasionally needed for the man, not every night and depending on his current condition. We are looking for a woman with intermediate German language skills, without a driver's license; there are no pets in the household, and smoking is not tolerated. The caregiver arranges her free time with the clients' daughters. The caregiver has her own room at her disposal with a private toilet, sink, and internet access.
