Elder people in general are in need of a caregiver as they are so weak that they cannot do their works on their own. A senior caregiver is a person who helps senior citizens in the daily living activities of senior citizens.
Most custodial duties are to be done by senior caregivers. They help the elder persons in toileting, bathing, light housekeeping, and transportation. They help the elderly to get into the wheelchair, take them to the restroom, and place them on a toilet. They may even change the diapers and return them to the chair. They are also involved in aiding them in shower. Certain laundry-related activities are also done by the senior caregivers.
