CAREGIVER JOB DESCRIPTION

Its long been recognized that caregivers are critical to the well-being of many individuals
with disabilities. Caregivers play a huge role in socialization and communication for the
people they care for. Effective communication is more important than anything else, when
it comes to caring for someone. As well as making sure they are in a safe environment.
1. Prepare a Care Plan
Preparing a care plan that addresses your clients strengths and weaknesses is necessary to
create when beginning your caregiving journey, so that you can determine how many hours
of care a day your loved one will require.
2. Assess Medical Needs
Does your client have prescription medication or need help with pain management? Meet
with a doctor who can assess your loved one and create a medical care plan so that you
can provide medical assistance at home.
3. Monitor Medication
Monitor your clients medication according to their medical care plan, which should specify
your duties and what times of day you should provide medical assistance to them.
4. Assist with Basic Needs
Assist your loved one with their basic needs, which could include: bathing, grooming and
toileting.
5. Prepare Meals
Food preparation becomes increasingly difficult as we age. You can help your client by
doing their grocery shopping or preparing their meals, and by monitoring their nutrition.
6. Housekeeping
Maintaining a home takes more time as we age and become less active. You can provide
assistance to a loved one by doing dishes, vacuuming or taking out the garbage.
7. Transfer
Your client may have difficulty transferring from bed in the morning to chair in the
afternoon, for instance. Be prepared to help them move and make them comfortable.
8. Companionship
In the midst of all these duties, its easy to forget one of the most important parts of
caregiving companionship. Focus on how rewarding it is to care for your client and know
how thankful they are to have you too. When you are challenged, these inspirational
caregiver tips can help you put things back into perspective.
10. Monitor Performance
Finally, look at your loved ones care plans, monitor the performance of their care and
speak with a medical professional if any adjustments need to be made.
These duties are essential caregiving tasks, but its also important to remember to adjust
them as necessary for the client or senior that youre caring for.
