Caregiving can be lonely. Whether you check on a sibling, friend, care for a spouse or parent, or pick up medicine for your neighbor — you are a caregiver.

Caregiving may involve shopping, housekeeping, providing transportation, feeding, bathing, toilet assistance, dressing, walking, coordinating appointments and medical treatments, or managing a person’s finances.
