Caregiver Skills

Caregiver skills are the abilities needed to effectively support and assist individuals who require help with daily activities or health management. These skills include good communication to understand and respond to needs, patience and empathy to provide compassionate care, problem-solving to handle unexpected situations, and organizational abilities to manage schedules and tasks. Caregivers also need to have basic medical knowledge, respect for privacy, and the physical endurance to perform tasks like lifting or mobility assistance. Developing these skills ensures the caregiver can provide safe, respectful, and effective support, promoting the well-being and independence of those in their care.
