What do caregivers do?

The responsibilities of a caregiver can include providing companionship both in and out of the home, assisting with dressing, hygiene, and using the bathroom, getting recipients in and out of bed and helping them move about, and reminding recipients to take their medication, among other duties to ensure high quality care.

Here are a few services Kare Plus provides to our home care clients:

It seeks to relieve the physical symptoms of illness while equally addressing the patient’s emotional and spiritual needs.
