Taking care of an elderly, physically disabled or handicapped, or someone who needs special attention, right in your own home is very challenging, especially if that person is an immediate relative or someone close to you. It will require a considerable amount of time, effort, and resources to give them the quality of life they need on a day to day basis. Doing this kind of personal service on a shorter period is fine, but doing this on a long time basis may greatly affect your own health because of the stress and fatigue you will get from doing it.
