The Challenges of Caregiving and Solutions

A caregiver is a person who provides assistance to someone who needs care. Caregiving may involve the care of a spouse who has experienced a stroke, a mother-in-law with Alzheimer's disease, a child with muscular dystrophy, or a grandfather with cancer. The majority of caregivers are unpaid, are family members or friends, and provide care for loved ones or friends on a full or part-time basis. Approximately 80% of caregivers provide assistance to others seven days a week. The care they provide commonly involves both personal assistance and household chores.
