Summary: Being a caregiver is often accompanied by unfamiliar responsibilities, stress, and a fear of the unknown. Our Caregiving 101 guide can help you gain confidence, useful skills and a better understanding of what it takes to be a caregiver. We hope you use this guide as an essential resource for family caregivers helping their loved ones maintain their quality of life.
There may come a time when we are required to step in and care for our loved ones. As a caregiver, we can provide our loved ones the ability to maintain a higher quality of life even if their health isn’t at its peak. However, caregiving is often uncharted territory for those of us taking on these roles, and it is common to struggle to understand caregiver responsibilities.
Medical professionals can make caregiving seem like an easier task than it really is. However, as professionals, they have gone through years of training, and unlike the professionals, family caregivers are often put into the role by necessity and lack of outside resources.
It’s not easy being a caregiver in any capacity, as the field requires substantial education, formal training, and the ability to learn from the day-to-day nuances you’ll face on the job. However, as a family caregiver, you may still be tasked with providing medical care, even if you aren’t a part of the medical profession. Fortunately, with the right resources and knowledge, becoming a caregiver doesn’t have to be stressful and may actually benefit all parties involved.
