Hola, soy Laura, la coordinadora de la ayuda a domicilio.
El jueves por la mañana voy a visitar a don Manuel (83). Dice que por la noche duerme poco y por la mañana le cuesta levantarse. En casa camina con bastón y tiene miedo de caerse en el baño. También toma medicación después del desayuno, pero a veces se le olvida.
¿Puedes ir tú el jueves? ¿A qué hora te va bien? Necesito saber si puedes ayudarle con el aseo y con ejercicios suaves.
Hello, I’m Laura, the home care coordinator.
On Thursday morning I’m going to visit Mr. Manuel (83). He says that at night he sleeps little and in the morning he finds it hard to get up. At home he walks with a cane and is afraid of falling in the bathroom. He also takes medication after breakfast, but sometimes he forgets.
Can you go on Thursday? What time works for you? I need to know if you can help him with personal hygiene and with gentle exercises.
Useful phrases:
-
Puedo ir el jueves a las...
(I can go on Thursday at...)
-
En la visita puedo ayudarle a...
(During the visit I can help him...)
-
Para prevenir caídas, podemos...
(To prevent falls, we can...)
Hi Laura, yes, I can go on Thursday at 9:30. During the visit I can help Mr. Manuel get up calmly and accompany him to the bathroom. I can also help him with personal hygiene (face, hands, and a quick shower if he feels safe) and check that the floor is dry to prevent falls. After breakfast I will remind him about his medication and suggest gentle exercises: moving his legs and arms and walking for a few minutes with the cane. Does this time work for you?
