Patient Rights and Privacy Considerations

Caregiving is the act of helping someone who needs support with their daily activities. These individuals may be older adults, people with disabilities, those recovering from illness, or individuals with long-term health conditions. A caregiver helps them stay safe, healthy, and comfortable. Caregivers come in many forms. They may be family members, friends, or paid professionals. Some live with the person they care for, while others offer help from a distance. Whether caregiving is temporary or long-term, it plays a vital role in the health and well-being of millions of people.
