Caregiver Jobs FAQ
What is a Caregiver?
A "Caregiver" refers to an individual who assists another person with daily living activities and personal hygiene. While family members and friends can provide care for a loved one, a "professional caregiver" is specially trained to deliver personalized and specialized home care services that benefit seniors and help them live comfortably and safely in their homes for a long as possible. Professional caregivers can assist for a short time (respite care) or long-term, including 24/7 care. They can also provide one-to-one services for older adults in nursing homes and assisted living facilities.
