What is a caregiver?
​Simply put, a caregiver is someone who provides support and care to a person who is chronically ill , disabled, or is not able to care for themselves. You are the wife, husband, daughter-in-law, sister, brother, child, or friend who saw a family member in need of care, and without evening thinking, became their caregiver. Rosalynn Carter once said:
“There are only four kinds of people in the world:

• Those who have been caregivers
• Those who currently are caregivers
• Those who will be caregivers
• And those who will need caregivers”
