“Caregivers play a key role in the ecosystem of care at home – they help another person with the tasks of everyday life,” Amy Flaster, chief medical officer for ConcertoCare, says.
“Good caregivers are trustworthy, flexible and reliable. They show respect, patience, empathy and compassion toward the person they are caring for, and they respect that person’s home and property.” She also notes that caregivers must “maintain the dignity of the person for whom they are caring [for] at all times.”
However, Flaster adds that caregivers must remember that it’s okay to seek outside help, such as additional physical or emotional support if they need it. Remember: It’s okay if you can’t do it all!
