How to be a Great Caregiver
No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted
“Caregiving is a calling, not everyone hears it”
To care for another person as either a professional caregiver or as the friend or family member of the person who needs care takes commitment, compassion, and determination. It is not an easy path to take. While caregiving is rewarding, it is also very challenging. So that’s why caregivers need to be prepared for everything that caring for the elderly and chronically ill people can bring.
Here, I want to talk about caregiving philosophies and best practices that focus specifically on caring for elderly and chronically ill people since both groups have unique needs.
It’s intended to help professional caregivers and friends or family providing care navigate the challenges they face to be better caregivers.
