Not informal caregivers

0

If you’re between the ages of 25 and 70, you probably either know someone who is caring for an elderly family member or special needs child, or you are doing it yourself. The Caregiver Alliance defines a “caregiver” in this way… A caregiver — sometimes called an informal caregiver — is an unpaid individual (for example, a spouse, partner, family member, friend, or neighbor) involved in assisting others with activities of daily living and/or medical tasks. Formal caregivers are paid care providers who work in one’s home or in a care setting (daycare, residential facility, long-term care facility).
