Being a Caregiver in Arizona for a patient with a developmental disability can be tough. Apart from having to provide them with basic care and assisting them in activities, such as bathing, dressing, eating, and cooking, you may also have to provide emotional support and make sure they don’t feel lonely or isolated.
