When you hear the term “home caregiver,” you might wonder what that really means. What exactly do they do? And how can they help your family?

Whether you're just starting to explore care options or planning for the future, here’s a quick look at what a professional home caregiver provides.

1. Personal Care Assistance: Caregivers help with daily hygiene needs like bathing, grooming, dressing, and using the restroom—always with kindness and respect.

2. Medication Reminders: While caregivers don’t administer medications, they can provide reminders and ensure medications are taken on time as prescribed.

3. Meal Preparation: Home caregivers can prepare nutritious meals, assist with feeding if needed, and accommodate dietary restrictions.

4. Light Housekeeping: From laundry to tidying up common areas, caregivers help keep the home clean and safe for your loved one.

5. Companionship: Sometimes, the most important thing a caregiver provides is presence. Whether it’s a walk around the block or a friendly conversation, emotional support goes a long way.

6. Transportation & Errands: Many caregivers help with errands, doctor appointments, or outings, giving families peace of mind and keeping seniors connected to their communities.
