Frequently Asked Questions
What is a caregiver?
A caregiver is someone who provides care for another person. A formal caregiver is typically a trained and paid professional. An informal caregiver, also known as a family caregiver or care partner, is often unpaid, untrained, and can be a family member, friend or neighbor who provides assistance with any range of needs for an aging adult or someone living with a chronic or disabling condition. These needs may include any number of things, such as nutrition, grooming, bathing, dressing, transportation, medical advocacy, prescription management, as well as with decisions involving housing, finances, or legal matters, and beyond.
