(Note that providing all tools and materials is not part of the scope and is the responsibility of the family.)
- Feeding the beneficiary, taking into consideration their dietary requirements (based on medical reports and any allergies or intolerance to certain foods). The family will provide the food, so it is not part of the contractor's responsibility. The caregiver will heat and prepare the food in a suitable manner for the beneficiary, including blending if necessary, to provide proper nutrition.

This also includes replacing absorbent products to ensure the beneficiary does not encounter any issues related to urinary incontinence or other related problems.
- Assisting the beneficiary in movement inside/around the house, if possible, using available tools and safely turning them in bed to minimize the occurrence of pressure sores. (Please note that providing tools is beyond the scope of work.)
- Measuring and monitoring vital signs and reporting any changes in the beneficiary's health status.
- Providing the beneficiary with the required oral medications according to the doctors' instructions only. The family will inform the caregiver of the medication schedule, and the caregiver will be responsible for reminding and administering the medication at the specified times. (Excluding any injections or complex medications that require additional nursing skills.)
- Providing social support and companionship to the beneficiary through engaging in recreational activities such as watching movies, reading books, listening to music, etc. The caregiver is expected to stimulate the beneficiary's interests and skills as much as possible.
