One of the key aspects of being a caregiver is to work out how to interact with the person you are administering care to. Communications skills are, therefore, a high priority, especially when the person receiving care may not be able to communicate verbally, maybe because of trauma or due to a condition they are suffering from. Once boundaries with physical contact have been established, you can then proceed to administer care, ensuring that hygiene is maintained at all times so that both the caregiver and the recipient do not suffer from any communicable diseases. Caregivers will typically wash, dress, administer drugs, assist with eating and drinking and help to improve the quality of life of those in their care, sometimes by chatting or playing games.
