5.1 The Role of Caregiving

Assistance and supervision of a person’s activities, while they are dealing with a disease or disability are both considered forms of caregiving. Assistance could take the shape of financial, emotional, medical, or legal support.
Daily responsibilities include the following:

• Taking care of the patient
• Maintaining their living condition
• Administering medications
• Handling finances
• Performing other essential tasks.

As a result, in cases where a person is seriously afflicted, such as in Alzheimer’s disease, the carer plays a crucial, if not indispensable, role in ensuring their survival and well-being.
