Caregiver Rights

Caregiver rights refer to the entitlements and protections that individuals providing care to others—such as family members or friends—have while performing their duties. These rights often include access to support services, the right to take time off work for caregiving responsibilities, protection from discrimination, and the ability to make decisions regarding the care they provide. Caregivers are also entitled to seek help for their own well-being without fear of losing their caregiving role. Understanding these rights is crucial for ensuring that caregivers receive the support they need while fulfilling their important responsibilities.
