informal caregivers

Informal caregivers are individuals who provide unpaid support and assistance to family members, friends, or neighbors with health or daily living needs. This caregiving can involve helping with activities like bathing, cooking, medication management, and transportation. Unlike professional caregivers, informal caregivers often have no formal training and take on these roles out of love, duty, or companionship. Their contributions are crucial for the well-being of those they assist, often allowing them to remain at home and maintain a better quality of life despite health challenges.
