Who is a "caregiver"?
A caregiver is someone who provides help and support to individuals who are unable to care for themselves because of illness, disability, or aging. Caregivers can be family members, friends, or hired professionals, and they often help with tasks such as bathing, dressing, meal preparation, medication management, and transportation. Caregivers may also provide emotional support and spend time with those they care for, helping them maintain their independence and quality of life. While caregivers may provide care in the patient's home, they typically do not live with the patient permanently. Instead, they visit regularly or provide care during scheduled shifts.
