Description

Nicole and Joel explain how caregiving works, and what it is like to have a caregiver in your home. 

Caregiving is a combination of skilled and non-skilled services, aiming to keep people in their homes for as long as possible. The goal is to provide support to keep dignity intact and prevent frequent hospitalizations or assisted living facilities. Caregivers can be hired through agencies, structured family plans, or through private-pay options.  

People generally need help with laundry and cooking, but there may be physical limitations that seniors may face. The goal is to help people stay in their homes as long as possible and maintain dignity.
