Caregiver Job Description
Families are made up of working-class people who barely have time to take constant care of the sick and elderly. Not everyone is comfortable living in an old people's home. That's why they need a caregiver. A caregiver is someone who helps to cater to the daily needs of an aged or ailing client.
Caregivers are good companions for patients who are on bed rest, elderly people, and people in need of constant care and support. A caregiver is a good option for anyone who needs to be assisted but does not have people around to provide the care required.
A caregiver provides their charge with as much assistance as possible to ensure that they can carry out their daily activities without needing to be dependent on other people.
Caregiver duties range from simple tasks such as helping to clean up and assist in movement, to administering drugs and medication.
Caregivers offer a lot of services that are beneficial to patients, elderly people, and their families.
Caregivers help to transport their load from one location to another. They administer medical care and also help to ensure that they are on track with any medication or assistance they require.
For elderly patients or patients on compulsory bed rest, they help them with bathing and necessary hygiene practices. They also ensure that special dietary requirements are adhered to.
Caregivers may be required to provide live-in care and services. This sometimes includes helping to clean for the patient and assisting them to go on walks and do exercises.
Some of your duties as a caregiver may include:
As a companion/caregiver, you’ll need to enjoy working with people, have a kind and loving personality and have patience with people. Basic housekeeping skills can be a great advantage, as you may need to help out with light housekeeping work as well.
In terms of working hours, you may be required to work around 5 – 6 days a week, depending on the individual’s needs. You’ll enjoy this position if you are compassionate and love working with people. Being a companion can be a very rewarding career for the right person.
