So you are on your way to becoming a Caregiver now! However, you still are unsure of what all Caregiving entails. Two aspects are assisting with Activities of Daily Living (ADL) and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL). Some of the activities which a Caregiver can assist with are: shopping, managing finances, doing laundry (IADL); Bathing, Dressing, Climbing Stairs, Feeding (ADL). 

Communicate with your Care Recipient as to what activities they may need help with, and discuss how you can better assist them. You can also speak to a Care Manager to help the Care Recipient adjust to these changes in their life.
