There is no magic formula for being a caregiver, no specific number of hours per week, or a list of responsibilities. Therefore, many people may not always see themselves as a caregiver, but rather a supportive friend or family member.Caregiving Network wants to support those who are checking in on a friend regularly and providing regular support to family members, as these individuals are providing caregiver support.
