Seniors can be cared for in the home. A successful caregiver is one who truly has the heart and willingness to help those in need. They do not provide care in search of recognition or money. A true caregiver provides care because they feel the need to help those less fortunate to make their days a bit brighter and manageable.

The basic duties of in-home caregivers are:

· Assist with Hygiene Management (bathing, grooming, dressing, Skin Care, etc.)

· Assist in transferring, repositioning, ambulating, etc.

· Meal planning and preparation

· Pick up or light housecleaning, laundry and linen changing

· Implement Instructions from Hospice

· Provide comfort and supervision

· Medication supervision and administration

· Assist with Physical Therapy or range of motion

· Run Errands (grocery shopping, pharmacy pick-up, doctor appointments, etc.)

Should an elderly patient be given an expensive operation if he or she will only live long enough to enjoy its benefits for a short time even if it is successful. Very, very hard decisions to make. .
