What does custodial care NOT typically involve?

Assistance with daily living activities
Support for individuals recovering from illness
Medical treatment and supervision
Personal care services

The correct answer is: Medical treatment and supervision

Custodial care primarily focuses on providing assistance with daily activities and personal care services for individuals who may be unable to perform these tasks independently due to chronic illnesses, disabilities, or age-related conditions. This type of care often encompasses help with eating, bathing, dressing, grooming, and mobility. The correct answer reflects that custodial care is distinct from medical care, which includes medical treatment and supervision by healthcare professionals. While custodial care might support individuals who are recovering from illness or require personal care, it does not generally encompass skilled nursing services or medical interventions typically associated with healthcare providers. Therefore, custodial care is not focused on the administration of medications or medical therapies, but rather on non-medical assistance and support for daily living activities.
