What Do Caregivers Do?
Caregivers deliver non-medical care to seniors and people who have physical and mental disabilities. Non-medical care can be any care service that isn’t done by a doctor or nurse. Doctors and registered nurses are healthcare professionals who provide medical services. Caregivers don’t need a medical school or nursing school degree.
How Do Caregivers Help Their Clients?
Caregivers provide personalized care services. They help their clients with physical issues, mental health challenges, and with chores and errands. At Always Best Care of Thousand Oaks, we divide our caregiving services into three main categories. These are:
Personal Care
Personal caregivers help people complete the activities of daily living. These are routine tasks we all do. Unfortunately, many seniors find these tasks challenging to do alone. These are activities such as using the toilet, getting in and out of bed, dental and denture care, and remembering to take medication. Personal caregivers help seniors with all these tasks and more.
Companion Care
Seniors face challenges to their emotional and mental health, too. Caregivers help their clients improve and maintain their emotional wellbeing. Companion caregivers listen to people’s problems, help them with correspondence, go through photo albums with them, play card or board games with them, and escort them to medical appointments and recreational events.
Home Helper Services
Caregivers also help people with household tasks. This can include chores, such as doing the laundry, dusting hard-to-reach places, and vacuuming. They also help run errands, such as grocery shopping and picking up medication.
Where Do Caregivers Work?
Caregivers can work in long-term care centers or in the private homes of their clients. Long-term care centers include assisted living communities, memory care homes, and nursing homes. There are many excellent long-term care centers in Conejo Valley, but many seniors prefer to live in their own homes. In-home care enables seniors to age in place.
