This can be very draining and can take a toll on your physical and emotional wellbeing. Caregiving is a broad term describing a wide range of support that can be as simple as helping with activities of daily living for people that are still independent and care for themselves, to helping someone bath, feed, dress and walk that are almost fully dependent and may even end up bedridden.
