THE BASICS

When you are taking care of a loved one, make time to care for yourself, too. The emotional and physical stress of care giving can be overwhelming and you may need a break.

WHAT IS A CAREGIVER?

A caregiver is someone who helps a family member, friend, or neighbor who is sick or has a disability. An informal or family caregiver often helps a loved one with basic daily tasks.

YOU MAY BE A CAREGIVER IF YOU REGULARLY HELP SOMEONE WITH:
Grocery shopping
Housework
Getting dressed
Taking and keeping track of medicine
Medical care, like keeping wounds clean or giving shots
Cooking food
Transportation, like car rides to appointments
Managing services, like talking to doctors or paying bills

About 1 in 3 Americans are caregivers. Most caregivers also have other jobs and spend an average of 24 hours a week caring for a loved one.
