carer

Caregiving for a 90-year-old senior (170 cm, 70 kg) who lives in a family house (200 m²) together with his wife. He suffers from dementia/Alzheimer's disease and incontinence. About three to four weeks ago he had a femoral neck fracture, and after the surgery, hospital stay, and anesthesia, his dementia and independence have significantly worsened. He moves around the house with a walker, needs support when standing and walking, requires partial assistance with dressing, undressing, toileting, and personal hygiene, and eats independently. He can handle more demanding conversation, enjoys taking part in discussions, and needs activation, motivation, and memory support. The job duties include meal preparation, shopping, cleaning, laundry care, companionship, conversation, walks, exercise, and accompanying him during physiotherapist-led exercises; the caregiver also looks after the household for the client's wife. Night care and moderate assistance with lifting are required. The caregiver arranges her time off with the client's son and wife. We are looking for a woman with an intermediate knowledge of German, without a driver's license; there are no pets in the household, and smoking is permitted only outside the apartment. The caregiver has a separate apartment (Einlieger-Wohnung) of 25 m² with internet at her disposal.
