Elderly caregivers provide companionship, living assistance, and basic medical services for older citizens who are no longer able to care for themselves. The requirements to become an elderly caregiver can vary between regions and employers, but most workers need to hold high school diplomas and complete a series of training courses before working directly with clients. In addition, special licensure and certification are needed for some positions in home health companies, assisted living facilities, and government agencies.
