About caregiver
A caregiver, caretaker or direct care worker is a person who provides physical, emotional or personal care for people who can not function independently due to age, chronic illness, injury or disability. A caregiver can be either formal or informal. Formal caregivers are trained professionals, including direct care workers (DCW) at hospitals, day-care centers and nursing homes; home care and respite care providers; healthcare assistants; and other unlicensed assistive personnel. Family caregivers are relatives, neighbors or friends who provide this support.
