Body
A caregiver can be a family member, partner, friend or paid home health care worker who provides daily care so that a person with a disability can continue to live at home. Caregiving has many shapes and forms, as do persons who provide caregiving and persons who require caregiving. Whether you are a person receiving care or a person providing care, it is important to:
* Be informed – listen to each other and share information.
* Get connected – develop support systems that expand beyond caregiving and care receiving relationship.
* Be inspired – embrace the world around you and your contribution to it.
A number of national, regional, and local organizations address the needs of caregivers. Each of these provides a source of support in daily activities.
