What kinds of tasks can a carer help with for an elderly person?

Realistic close up of an elderly Asian woman hesitating at the bottom of a staircase holding the banister while a young White female caregiver in a 00072b tunic with e51974 accents stands beside her offering a reassuring hand and smile.

A carer can support with many practical and emotional aspects of daily life. This might include help with washing, getting dressed, oral care and shaving; assistance to move safely around the home; preparing meals and drinks; prompting or administering prescribed medicines; and keeping on top of light housework, laundry and bed changes. Just as importantly, carers provide conversation, reassurance and regular social contact, which is vital for wellbeing. Some carers also accompany people to appointments, shops, social groups or faith activities, helping them stay connected to their community. The exact tasks are agreed in a personalised care plan.
