carer

Caregiving for a 92-year-old senior (175 cm, 97 kg) who lives alone in a family house. Following a stroke in 2023, he has paralysis of the right side of the body, a gastric feeding tube, and a urinary catheter, and uses incontinence briefs. He is fully dependent on the help of another person and sleeps a lot during the day. He moves exclusively in a wheelchair and stays only in the living room. The house is equipped with a modern lift, a wheelchair, and an adjustable bed; one transfer to the wheelchair is needed daily. He requires complete assistance with dressing, eating, toileting, and personal hygiene. Medication via the feeding tube is administered by an outpatient home nursing service; however, the senior is gradually relearning to eat and needs support and supervision during meals due to the risk of choking. Duties include meal preparation, shopping, cleaning, and laundry. Shops are within walking distance, and a bicycle is also available. The family lives nearby, visits regularly, and helps with shopping as needed. Night care is generally not required. Smoking is permitted only outside the residence. The caregiver has a private room with internet access and two half days off per week.
