Which role best describes someone who provides ongoing support to clients?

• A. Caregiver
• B. Administrator
• C. Therapist
• D. Case manager

Answer: (A)

Providing ongoing support means delivering continuous, direct assistance to meet daily needs and maintain well-being. A caregiver is the person who typically delivers this kind of hands-on, long-term support—helping with activities of daily living, assisting with routine tasks, monitoring health, and offering emotional reassurance over time.

An administrator focuses on organizational tasks and policy, not on direct client care. A therapist provides mental health treatment and therapeutic services rather than day-to-day support in living. A case manager coordinates services and helps with planning and access, maintaining contact over time but not delivering the ongoing hands-on care that characterizes caregiving.

So, the caregiver best fits the role of someone who provides ongoing, direct support to clients.
