Description

A caregiver provides essential support and assistance to individuals who are unable to fully care for themselves due to age, illness, disability, or injury. This can involve a wide range of duties, including help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and eating, as well as medication management, light housekeeping, meal preparation, and companionship. Caregivers play a crucial role in enhancing the quality of life and promoting the independence of those they assist, often working in clients’ homes, assisted living facilities, or nursing homes. They need to be compassionate, patient, reliable, and possess strong communication and problem-solving skills.
