Who is Considered
a Caregiver?
At some point in your life, you are likely to
either become or need a caregiver. According to a
report from the National Alliance for Caregiving
and AARP, one in five adults in the United
States is currently (or has been within the last 12
months) an informal caregiver.
Are You a Caregiver?
An informal caregiver is someone who cares
for an aging or ill person without compensation.
Here are a few quick questions to help you
determine if you are a caregiver:
n Are you concerned about the health and wellbeing
of a loved one and check in on them more
frequently than you otherwise would?
n Do you help them with any of their daily
life tasks such as errands, meal preparation,
grooming, transportation, or medication
disbursement?
n Do you provide physical, emotional, financial,
or logistical support to this person?
n Do you feel at all responsible for the health
and well-being of this person?
If you answered yes to any of these questions,
you are probably a caregiver.
Caregiver Duties and Responsibilities
The daily life of a family caregiver may vary
significantly from caregiver to caregiver. Some
caregivers will be needed around the clock to
provide care and support for their loved ones.
Others will be needed less frequently for help
with tasks like transportation and errands. For
others still, it may just mean being the person
on-call ready to show up at a moment's notice
in an emergency. Regardless of the level of
commitment, if your loved one depends on you
in any capacity, you are a family caregiver.
Caregiver Support and Resources
Becoming a caregiver can be a high-pressure
role that many caregivers juggle alongside other
responsibilities, such as being a parent to a child
or having a full-or-part-time job. The good news
is that whatever your situation looks like, you
are not alone. The California Caregiver Resource
Center of Orange County (CRC OC) is available to
help. They are a free support system providing
knowledge, training, resources, community, and
experience to help you through this journey.
