Personal Care Giver
A caregiver refers to a person who assists the elderly by doing a number of tasks. A caregiver will usually visit the home of a senior, but also may work out of a nursing care facility as part of the staff.
A caregiver is usually responsible for attending to the specific needs of an elderly person, but a caregiver may also attend to the needs of an infant or a disabled person. Caregivers serve a key role in the health care industry. Caregivers ensure that those under their care are clean, fed and safe. The responsibilities of caregiver can be diverse and encompass many aspects of care. Caregivers will generally work in a patient’s home and help with a variety of tasks. Caregivers are responsible for assisting infants, seniors or the disabled with receiving a proper diet and meals along with preparation of meals and in some cases grocery shopping.
