The term caregiver refers to anyone who provides assistance to someone else who needs it. Though a caregiver can be anyone it is often a family member who steps in to provide extra support and attention for an elderly loved one. The typical family caregiver is 49-year-old woman who works outside the home and for nearly five years will spend an average 20 hours per week providing unpaid care to her parent. | | | | Date Created: | 11-24-2013 | | | | Agency ID: | 1166**13 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000052000 Original UID: 173136 FIRST WORD: In | |
