Additionally, caregivers assist with grocery shopping and perform light housekeeping chores to maintain a clean and safe living environment for clients. The provision of these services is contingent upon the licensing requirements of each state, ensuring that caregivers operate within legal and professional boundaries. Essential duties include arriving at the client's home punctually, completing all assigned tasks accurately and in a timely manner, and maintaining confidentiality of client information in accordance with HIPAA standards.
