SEC-S13/W4| "The Role of the Caregiver ♥️ "
Greeting Steemit Friends
Caregivers are those who have taken it upon themselves to physically be available to a family member, or friends or have taken it as a profession. As a caregiver, you need to be ready to develop skills in moving and living, skin care, oral hygiene, etc.
👩⚕️ Have you played the role of caregiver or do you know someone who has put it into practice? Tell us about it.
My grandmother lived for 116 years, and during the last moment, I had the chance to be around. My mom was her caregiver, and I sometimes supported her in taking care of her. The role of a caregiver is not an easy one. In the Western world, they have homes for the again people. In my culture, most people are not encouraged to have their parents in a confined home.
Even the ageing people themselves will not accept staying in such an environment. I'm saying this concerning my granny. She loves her home, even without the strength to help herself. She never wanted to go stay with others.
My mom had to heat her water every morning to take her bath. Prepared her breakfast and supported her in walking in case she had to go outside to get sunshine. Sometimes I will have to stay close to her to listen to stories to keep her company. Being in the same spot is sometimes boring as you do not have anyone to talk to. So when any comes close and initiates a chat, she takes a moment and tells you every story. One important role of a caregiver is to listen.
👩⚕️ Do you think that caring for a sick person should be a team effort or the work of a single person?
Well, I have had the chance to be around an aging person and see the commitment you have when caring for them. I think it is better to be a teamwork than a single person task. Moving, support, cleaning, feeding, and listening acts can be very tiring at some point. Every human has a breakage point, and leaving this task to a single person will break the individual.
The breaking point is never a good position for anybody. Humans turn to act normal at that point, and it is very possible to make mistakes when you are tired. I will strongly say that caregiving is a heavy task for a single person and should not be encouraged.
👩⚕️ What qualities do you think a caregiver should have?
Yeah, I will try to mention some of the above.
- Caregivers need to be great cooks.
- Caregivers need to be good communicators
- Caregiver able to move and lift
- Caregivers have to patient
- Caregivers should cold temper
- Caregiver organized cleaner
- Caregivers need to be able to manage medication
- Caregiver should be able to keep records
👩⚕️ What advice would you give to a person who is performing this role?
Well, taking such a role for a family and non-family member is never an easy task. I will advise you to get help from a doctor, nurse, or health facility. So long as you have the passion, you can do it. It is all about giving hope and supporting a weak person.
To conclude, we all should have some level of caregiving. In our families, at one point we are caregivers. Taking care of our Mom, Dad, Wife, Husband, brother, sister, or kids during sick moments. That is taking the role of the caregiver in the family in an organized and polite manner.

En el mundo occidental existen sitios para llevar a las personas mayores que se encuentran enfermas, pero son tan costosos que solo una ínfima parte de la población puede recurrir a esa solución. Además, al menos aquí en Venezuela, una larga tradición nos ha enseñado a cuidar de nuestros ancianos, ya que nunca nos ha parecido correcto remitirlos a cualquiera de esos lugares donde serán atendidos por extraños. A ellos, por otra parte, les gusta estar en donde han pasado toda su vida. De modo que, al igual que en su país, tenemos una amplia experiencia como cuidadores. Éxitos en el desafío, amigo...
We seem to have similarities in culture in the aspect of taking care of our elderly. They have this say, "children are their walking stick". Some people are not comfortable handling their parents in the hands of strangers. As I mentioned in my post, caregiving is not an easy task. We most recommend those who are in that line of job.
Thanks for dropping on my post.
Litterlly ! Taking care of 116 year old person is a very painstaking task . It requires many expertise along with patience.Your mother efforts are commendabale . Thanks for sharing your publication here. Best of luck for contest.
Hello bro,
I am happy to reading your post. The role of caregiver is a very big responsibility and it is also a very exhausting job. If only one person does it, they can also fall ill. When caring for a sick person, it must be done with a lot of love and responsibility. Thanks for sharing this. I wish you good luck.
Regards,
Faran Nabeel ❤️
Beberapa poin untuk menjadi pengasuh yang anda sebutkan diatas memang benar, dan salah satu poin yang sangat membuat saya tertarik atas ungkapan anda diatas asalah, seorang pengasuh harus menjadi juru masak yang hebat, ini adalah poin yang sangat bagus karena orang yang sedang sakit pasti memerlukan asupan makanan yang sehat, bergizi dan juga lezat.
Yeah, and some elderly and sick people are very selective when it comes to food. A caregiver must have good cooking skills. Thank brother for taking out time to drop on my post.
I also agree that caring for the sick should be done as a team. It is difficult to do it yourself, because this is a job that requires great responsibility.
It is important to ensure the safety and comfort of the people we care for.
Good luck, my friend
Greetings and blessings 👏
Thanks, @chefdanie we all need to have some level of caregiving to not weigh all responsibility on a single person. Thanks again for finding time to go through my post.
You're welcome my brother..
Success for your career on the platform. 👏

Congratulations! Your post has been upvoted through steemcurator08. Good post here should be..Hola amigo
Su abuela fue muy fuerte y tuvo que haber tenido una buena calidad de vida para durar tantos años amigos.
Y qué bueno que en los últimos años estuviste cerca para colaborar con tu mamá y juntos hacer un equipo que pudiera cuidar de tu abuela en los momentos de enfermedad A eso se le llama un buen cuidador.
Las cualidades que debe tener un buen cuidador tienen que comenzar con la cualidad del amor para que todo lo demás pueda hacerse de buena gana.
Suerte en tu concurso

To be honest friend, caregivers need to be good cook because that is also a way of taking care of them. Feeding is very important when taking care of aged or Ill individuals and one can achieve this by cooking.
Thank you so much for sharing.
