What is Caregiving?

Caregiver | Direct Care Professional 

The role has many titles, and the services may vary depending on individual needs: 

  • Helping with personal care, like bathing, dressing, shaving, eating, moving, toileting, and exercising.
  • Providing in-home care, such as supervision and monitoring, household tasks like laundry, cooking, as well as running errands and taking participants on outings. 

Caregivers help people who need support with their mental or physical health. This can include people with mental health issues, behavioral needs, physical disabilities, developmental disorders, intellectual disabilities, or older adults who need care. 

At the end of the day, caregiving is all about lending a helping hand to those who need it. Whether it is assisting older adults, supporting people with disabilities, or helping someone recover from an illness — caregiving is where you can be a superhero in real life.
