Caregivers and Caregiving Headquarters
Ranked #65,592 in Healthy Living, #726,912 overall | Donates to Global Giving
A group devoted to caregivers, the person who is responsible for attending to the needs of a child or dependent adult. This group contains carefully selected lenses with information and resources for caregivers, the unsung but important providers of care.
Being a caregiver is the most thankless role in the world.
Everybody gives the patient some slack, as they should,
but the caregiver has the stress of life
and then you put a catastrophic illness on top of it
...the stress goes through the roof.
Marcia Wallace

What is a Caregiver?
Here are a few common ones.
* A person who is responsible for attending to the needs of a child or dependent adult.
* A health care professional, family member or friend who attends to the needs of a patient.
* The primary person in charge of caring for an individual with a disease or condition, usually a family member or a designated health care professional.
Caregiving is often one of the most important, demanding and stressful roles that a person may undertake in his or her lifetime.

Who are the Caregivers?
The number of American households involved in caregiving may reach 39 million by 2007.
* About 75% of caregivers are women.
* Two-thirds of caregivers in the United States have jobs in addition to caring for another person.
* Most caregivers are middle-aged: 35-64 years old.
These statistics obviously do not include those caregivers caring for an infant or a child.

Thank you for the outstanding work you have done in creating this group and providing invaluable resources for the caregiver. Thanks for the invitation to add "/the-caregiver" - Caregiver Support To Relieve Caregiver Stress. There's more critical help for caregivers addressing one of the worst problems of caregiver stress on What Is Caregiver Burnout And What Can I Do About It. Hope you don't mind the link, but it's valuable material that should help some of the members and visitors here. :)
