Millions of paid caregivers proudly serve on the front lines of America’s healthcare system each day. Many of those dedicated professionals help older adults lead independent lifestyles in the safety and comfort of their own homes. As the U.S. population continues to age, the need for home care workers will continue to rise dramatically over the next decade.
One of the biggest fears for that aged 65-and-over is tripping and falling. In fact, one-in-four older Americans trip and fall every year, and falls are the leading cause of both fatal and nonfatal injuries in the elderly population.
Whether you’re an elderly care recipient or a concerned family member, knowing how to tell the difference between home care and home health care will no doubt matter when important decisions weigh in the balance.
Caregiving is a wonderful career if you love helping people. You get to spend your day making a positive difference in people’s lives, and you deliver something nobody else can – the ability to help a senior age gracefully at home and not in a nursing home or other type of institution.
It’s been said that “The only way to do a great job is to love what you do.” What is it about caregiving that many find so rewarding? Based on our experience, here are five reasons we hear most from caregivers about why they are so passionate about their careers.
