Caring
There is a growing awareness of the importance of Carers/Caregivers. Here's a few items of interest.
Please be aware there are a number of different terms which can be used to describe the different people in a "caring" relationship. The biggest difference seems to be which side of the Atlantic you are on!

- Caretakes

- Carer
