Who Are Caregivers?

Learn About the Types of Caregivers & Their Responsibilities

Are you ready to become a caregiver? You’re not alone. There are millions of caregivers in the United States, and nearly all of them have one thing in common: a commitment to helping and bettering the lives of others. However, not all offer the same type and level of care. At Griswold, we provide care to the elderly and adults with disabilities, illnesses, and injuries. Care options include a wide range of services, including personal care, companion care, respite care, hospice and palliative support care, live-in care, overnight care, and more.

Curious to learn more? We’ve provided some resources for you to explore. Find out who these heroes are and how you can give support.

Types of Caregivers

There are several types of caregivers. The most common is the family caregiver: someone who takes care of a family member without pay. The other types are professional, independent, private, informal, and volunteer caregivers.

Caring for the Caregiver

While caregiving is widely regarded as rewarding, it is also one of the more demanding careers a person can partake in, as it is physically and emotionally engaging. Self-care is an incredibly important part of being a caregiver, and caregivers sometimes need care from others as well.
