Roles & Responsibilities of Caregivers

Caregiving isn’t just about helping - it’s about knowing where help begins and where boundaries must stay firm. 

A great caregiver understands their role, respects family dynamics, communicates clearly, follows routines, and works smoothly with healthcare professionals.

This micro-course builds the professional backbone of a caregiver by defining roles, responsibilities, boundaries, schedules, and coordination with families and doctors. It transforms caregivers from “helpers” into trusted care professionals.

This is the course that makes everything else work better.
