Custodial care

Custodial care refers to non-medical assistance provided to individuals who are unable to perform activities of daily living independently due to illness, injury, or age-related limitations. This type of care focuses on helping individuals with tasks such as bathing, dressing, meal preparation, and mobility. Custodial care does not involve medical treatments or procedures but rather supports the individual’s overall well-being and quality of life. It is often provided in long-term care settings such as nursing homes, assisted living facilities, or through home care services. Custodial care plays a crucial role in supporting individuals who require ongoing assistance with daily activities, helping them maintain independence and dignity as they age or manage chronic health conditions.
