What are the responsibilities of an aged care worker?

Industry Leader Answer

An aged care worker is responsible for the general care and well-being of the elderly. Whether that be through helping with daily tasks such as cleaning and cooking, or feeding the patients. They are also responsible for communicating and keeping their patient’s company

The main role of an aged care worker is to act as a companion to the elderly in what is nearing the end of their lives.
