Who are Caregivers and Care Partners?
Caregivers (also known as "care partners") are "relatives, friends or neighbors who provide assistance to a patient with a chronic illness who need support in their health care journey.
A caregiver is a paid or unpaid member of a person's social network who helps them with activities of daily living. Since they have no specific professional training, they are often described as informal caregivers.
A recent study says that 26.5% of all American adults today are family caregivers.
