Caregiver competencies

Caregiver competencies are the skills and qualities needed to provide effective support to those in need, such as the elderly or ill. These include good communication, empathy, patience, and the ability to follow care plans. Caregivers should also be knowledgeable about health and safety practices, able to handle emergencies, and respectful of the individual's dignity and preferences. Developing these competencies ensures caregivers can deliver compassionate, reliable, and skilled care, improving the well-being and quality of life for those they support.
