Caregivers and Providing Care

Being a caregiver for a senior loved one is an important role to play in the older adult’s life. Caregiving involves helping a senior meet their physical, emotional, and social needs as they navigate the challenges of aging. It can require a person to perform a wide range of tasks, from helping with activities of daily living or meal preparation to managing medications and arranging medical appointments to ensuring safety in the home environment.
