Caregiving as a Career
Have you ever picked up a prescription for a senior or taken them to a doctor's appointment? Have you ever helped an older adult around
the house or paying bills? Do you provide emotional support for an older adult? Or do you provide even more care? If you've answered yes to
any of these questions, then you are a caregiver.
Every day in the United States, there are approximately 44 million individuals providing care for a senior loved one. In a nutshell, caregiving
is anything you do that enhances the quality of life for seniors and helps keep them independent. If you're an individual who cares for a loved
one 24/7, it's probably not difficult to see yourself as a family caregiver. Caregiving as a career encompasses many of these activities and
more including:
- Companionship
- Planning and preparing meals
- Light housekeeping
- Medication reminders
- Running errands
- Engaging in activities like games
Most importantly, professional caregiving allows you to build on the skills you already have to develop a fulfilling, rewarding career helping
seniors live rich, independent lives.
