Research Notes on Caregiving

Caregivers are people who take care of other adults, most often parents or spouses, who are ill or disabled. The people who receive care usually need help with basic daily tasks.1

Fast Facts:

  • Caregivers help with many things including grocery shopping, housecleaning, cooking, bathing, dressing, and shopping.
  • Sometimes, the pressure of caring for someone who is elderly or who has a chronic illness can lead to stress and a condition called "caregiver burnout."2
  • Respite care gives family caregivers a much-needed break. In the process, respite care reduces caregiver stress.3
