Caregivers provide a broad range of services, from companionship to personal care. They can accompany the individual in activities such as: cooking and light housekeeping, laundry and change of bed linens, grocery and shopping, other errand types of services like picking up prescriptions or going to the post office, helping in hobbies or crafts, reading aloud any type of texts or writing letters, transportation to medical appointments or accompanying in walks, assistance in taking medicine and reminders.
Also, more complex, personal care tasks could be offered by the care provider, such as: bathing or showering, hair care and shaving, skin care, transfers like chair-to-bed or chair-to-toilet, mouth and denture care, special assistance to patients that suffer from diseases like Alzheimer’s, Dementia, Diabetes or other geriatric conditions, special therapies and treatments such as occupational, physical or speech therapy.
There are two types of caregivers: the primary caregiver provides care for 4-5 days a week, and the back-up caregiver takes over for the remainder of the week.
