What Is Custodial Care?
Next » « Previous2/7
Custodial Care is care provided to people who cannot take care of themselves and who are not expected to greatly improve. People receiving custodial care typically require some medical care for maintenance purposes. Custodial care seldom includes aggressive treatment that has the goal of curing or even improving a person's condition.
Custodial care is the care needed to accomplish the basic activities of daily life. Custodial care generally involves personal care including helping a person dress, bathe, eat, go to the bathroom, take medications and carry on other activities of living.
Key to custodial care is the absence of aggressive medical treatment that is curative in nature.
One of the most recognizable examples of Custodial Care is the care required by a person with Alzheimer's Disease.
