What is a Caregiver?

A Caregiver is an individual who helps a person to remain in their home. They help to provide an assortment of services and help. A Caregiver can be a spouse, a member of the family, a friend, a co-worker, or even a individual hire through an agency. You do not need to be providing 24-hour care to an individual to be considered a Caregiver, nor do you need to live with them.
