everyone reaches the first word american eagle nico he's in germany to find sherman but. first why not come with him. in simple online on your mobile and for a. w z learning course week german maybe see. rosa lopez is a nurse in berlin for twenty years she's been helping older people who can no longer care for themselves. is originally from spain she loves her job but it's increasingly difficult to do it well. thirty six thousand positions for care workers remain unfilled in germany and she. feels the effects of this personnel

shortage every day. or. nurse rose as work week gets off to a brisk start she's one of more than thirty caregivers who work for yard one of berlin's oldest privately run home health care services. the office has a house key for each patient because many can no longer open their own entrance doors trained nurses like rosa lopez care for as many as thirty patients a day. i've tried a lot of things in my life but i wasn't so happy with any of them. then i just started nursing and that was my thing. why. i.

think it's just the diversity of working with people there are different stories every day's different. her first patient today is would tell me. it's crazy. from home and she's ninety four years old and lives alone her husband died years ago today she's in a lot of pain oh. how i don't have any medication i don't know what to do that think well ok so why have you told your doctor no i don't know what i should do. cotton wool from ok i'll call her and see what she says. but nurse rosa can't sit and wait for the doctor to arrive she can only build a public health insurance provider for a twenty minute visit and it's almost over. the nurse tries not to let the stress show. thank you. ok

that's my first the spray. brewed helmet can't use the inhaler on her own due to the bad arthritis in her hands but she wants to keep on living in her own home. and i know i'm not going to leave my nice home i make my own food. something fresh every day no canned stuff. place. i washed the dishes every evening and i just. you know i mean i'm sure the daily visit from nurse rose helps her avoid having to go into a nursing home a couple games in my life that and that's the nicest thing of all. true. home care give seven hundred thousand elderly people in germany the chance to

stay in their own homes but the health care system is overburdened personnel are under pressure something rosa lopez feels is only getting worse. in mommy because there are more and more people needing help and fewer and fewer who want to do this job already they can hardly find people hardly any registered nurses. left. one reason is because the job is poorly paid but there's also little recognition for this often tough career . but automata is a relatively easy patient. he's content even though his wife is currently away on a trip he's eighty one and today he only needs help putting on his support cause. what can you expected eighty one at my age are already written off by society. as a chef. if you didn't have your family you'd be in

a real fix shoes. five minutes later the stockings are on but rosa needs a bit of time to document her visit in the care file. function if i wish you three nice days without your wife if you need anything you can call me but. rosa walks quickly to her car as usual she's double parked because there were no other parking spaces available that's just one more problem when you have to look after more and more patients than ever shorter amount of time. germany's new government has announced that it wants to improve nursing care. health minister. has promised to create some thirteen thousand new jobs for care workers. but we have that sound he manages to do that i'll eat my hat no i don't believe it these people don't exist he has to train them and that will take years but what you don't know and first he

has to find the people who want to be trained to. that song who can market his cause is a. good morning did you sleep well yes but only from one thirty to five thirty you know krista has been waiting for nurse rosa she suffers from bout of dizziness so severe that she could hardly get out of bed for a curler was herself once a caregiver in a nursing home nurse rosa gives her some pills. the visit is supposed to last just seven minutes but krista clearly has a lot of questions she. could close to receives health care services through their district office and a few weeks ago there was an assessment things are so bad that they're making cuts everywhere so they're cutting her services it's. like oh ok so i wish you

have you seen my grand kids. yes i see them every time i can. her daughter has just gotten married so i guess and from curler is eager to show nurse rose at the wedding photos. of her lovely grandchildren you can be proud of your. own there so i couldn't go to the wedding no no did they marry here in berlin. in bavaria they are. going to. be. the only contact person so when we visit she wants to talk the so that's what these patients need or feel poll tension and conversation you feel they just need you to sit next to them up and ask questions listen to them and help them that's the best medicine better than pills in public but there's no time it's not right

there's no time but you still try to make sound you can't just go in and out and say who cares what happens after i've got i'm here to hand out pills and the rest isn't my problem. or not like that. i suppose or source in the initial. nurse roles is already a half hour behind schedule and facing another emergency. vanished opens the door but right away he's sick to his stomach. oh you my goodness did you eat something bad so don't. once again nurse was a must call emergency services. by many in diarrhea and slight dizziness. i'm sure for did you eat breakfast nurse rosa wants to make him

a tea to drink until the dr arrives but she's in for a surprise when she enters the kitchen. so. starts or doesn't qualify for any household help so the place is a mess. that. it doesn't often hope that politicians are always so insistent that we act responsibly and not leave people in the lurch and things keep working out somehow but at whose expense will be the care workers. so once again she stays for twenty minutes instead of nine. for all of you to lift we'll talk later and when the doorbell rings that will be the doctor. then she's off again but once more with a bad feeling about things. rosa lopez would love to show the politicians who have

so often promised to make things better what her typical day is like germany's new health minister for example. as a practical come and do some work experience with me so we can see right away what things are like and i'd like to invite them and not for a day for a month. on the missional i'm talking to people i wonder. if you sound frustrated. itself was too young it is frustrating when you have more and more patience and less and less time with the pay isn't right either of course that's frustrating who wanted to do the job no one. even if there are nice things about it. rosa has no eighty two year old gives them a shrine and her ninety year old sister maria for a while now. or here on your side today hello. short hair you got it cut. you know all all the op gets in and of how are you feel

sure and escape so everything's ok. the two sisters moved in together three years ago to help one another since she had an accident gisela a former lawyer has been bedridden. oh such as. been you and me and i was going i was never one to run to the doctor i had a family physician but nothing else. rosa lopez changes her bandages and her catheter the caregiver visits the sisters four times a day. i can't do this alone i couldn't do it anymore because i'm disabled too and i can only get around with a rolling walker will meet the more law through. this is true as want to live together for as long as possible they promised one another that places through

truth when by by my dear all the best and thank you once again nurse rosa will do overtime to provide her patient's care with dignity in their old age there are still twelve more patients on her list and she'll press on doing her best to balance their needs with the realities of a nurse's schedule. it's been a long time since name hasn't been able to match it starts. to shall the music aside. timeless i don't mean to sound. made on.
