Caregivers help clients perform basic tasks such as cleaning the house and bathing, as well as provide companionship and emotional support. Additionally, they may be responsible for driving and escorting patients to appointments, grocery trips and other important errands. They may also help the client with mobility tasks such as getting out of bed and being pushed in a wheelchair.
