"There are only four kinds of people in the world - those who have been caregivers, those who are currently caregivers, those who will be caregivers, and those who will need caregivers." - Rosalyn Carter
Simply put, a caregiver is someone who provides support and care to a person who is chronically ill or has a disability and need help caring for themselves. Caregivers are the wives, husbands, daughters-in-law, sisters, brothers, sons, and friends who saw someone in need of care, and without even thinking, became their caregiver.
