Over 40 million Americans act as volunteer caregivers for a family member. Being a caregiver is one of the most difficult and significant roles someone can take on. It can be exceptionally rewarding, but it is also a difficult task full of challenges and hard work.
Caregivers have a huge responsibility, and their role is constantly changing - they have to learn to adapt and be continually flexible to the needs of their loved one. From medication management to staying on top of doctor visits, medical papers, helping with transportation, the activities of daily living, home upkeep, and so much more, caregivers do a lot.
