Caregivers assist others with daily activities of living. Senior caregiver certification training must meet state training mandates and be renewed annually. More than 25 states require at least 8-hours of annual training and California requires 10-hours of training for year one followed by a 5-hour annual renewal training course. Caregivers may provide part-time or full-time care and most often professional care services are provided for seniors with memory loss or age-related illnesses or for those of any age who are living with a physical or mental illness or disability.
