Being a caregiver on the marta platform is most likely not too different from your prior experience as a caregiver. Your responsbilities usually range from taking care of the person's hygiene to cooking or doing the laundry. If you want to learn more about that, you can see some example tasks down below.
Assistance with hygiene, mobility, meal preparation, housekeeping and recreation.
Medical care, 24 hour employment and heavy lifting are beyond the duties of a caregiver.
A large part of the care services is help with personal hygiene. These can vary greatly depending on the need.
Caregivers also help with mobility in and out of the home. They can accompany the visit to the doctor or go shopping.
A caregiver also prepares meals that they can adapt to the diet of the person being cared for.
The caregiver can help with household tasks and make sure the environment is clean.
Our caregivers are also happy to arrange leisure time and everyday life of the person to be cared for with joint activities, if required.
Regardless of the person, there are some things that should not be expected of any caregiver. These include:
The caregiver assists with daily personal hygiene. However, medical treatment care is not part of their regular area of responsibility. The exact delimitation depends on the respective service and must be checked in each individual case.
Home caregivers may take care of watering flowers by appointment, but not heavy yard work such as weeding, mowing lawns or trimming hedges.
One advantage of home care is that your caregiver is never far away. But that doesn't mean they get to work around the clock. Fixed breaks and days off are a basic requirement for successful care.
Most caregivers pay attention to a clean environment. However, basic domestic cleaning is not one of their tasks. This includes, for example, decluttering, washing curtains/curtains, cleaning out closets or other thorough cleaning work.
