Caregiving and Support Systems

Caregiving and support systems encompass the various resources and services designed to assist individuals who need help with daily activities due to aging, illness, or disability. This includes informal caregivers, such as family members or friends, and formal care services like home health aides, assisted living facilities, and respite care. Support systems also involve community resources, such as meal programs, transportation services, and counseling. These systems aim to provide physical, emotional, and practical support to improve the quality of life for both caregivers and those receiving care.
