Caregivers provide direct, hands-on support to individuals who need assistance with daily living due to age, illness, or disability, delivering patient care that ranges from bathing and meal preparation to medication reminders and mobility assistance. They work in homes, assisted living facilities, or hospitals, often as part of a broader healthcare or family support team, and are frequently trained in basic first aid and CPR to handle emergencies. The role demands strong communication and time management skills alongside deep compassion and empathy, as caregivers must build trust with vulnerable clients while coordinating with family members and medical staff.
