In-home caregiving involves providing support and assistance to individuals who need help with their daily activities due to age, illness, or disability. Here are some common responsibilities that are included in in-home caregiving:

Personal care: This includes helping the individual with bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and other personal hygiene tasks.
Meal preparation: Caregivers may be responsible for preparing and serving meals, as well as ensuring that the individual is getting the proper nutrition.
Medication reminders: This is not limited to reminding the individual to take their medications, but also keeping track of their administration.
Transportation: Caregivers may need to drive or require help arranging transportation to appointments, errands, or social events.
Household tasks: Caregivers may be responsible for light housekeeping tasks, such as doing laundry, washing dishes, and keeping the home tidy.

A Caregiver is someone who provides medical, physical, and emotional support to a person who is unable to take care of themselves due to illness or disability. Caregivers assist with activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, medication management, and mobility.

On the other hand, a Companion is someone who provides social and emotional support to a person, especially those who are feeling lonely, isolated, or anxious. Companionship may include talking, playing games, going for walks, and other leisurely activities.
