Caregiver Services at Home: What Happens in One Shift
A caregiver (most Lahore families say caretaker) handles the daily care that keeps a patient clean, fed, safe and calm. A typical 12-hour day shift looks like this:
| Time | Tasks |
|---|---|
| Morning | Wake-up, washroom help, bed bath or shower, fresh clothes, breakfast |
| Mid-morning | Medicines from the prescription chart, short walk or chair exercises |
| Afternoon | Lunch, turning bedridden patients every 2 hours, fluids |
| Evening | Tea, company, family update, handover notes for the night shift |
A caregiver does not give injections, change drips or adjust medicine doses. Those need an assistant nurse or registered nurse. Not sure which one you need? Read nurse vs caregiver.
