SURVEY OF HISPANICS 50+ IN FLORIDA – SEPTEMBER 2018 97 Next, I’d like to ask you some additional questions specifically regarding family caregivers.

A family caregiver is someone who provides care for an adult loved one, like a parent or spouse, who is ill, frail, elderly, or has a physical, mental, or emotional disability. This care may include assisting with personal needs like bathing and dressing, household chores, meals, shopping, transportation, or managing finances or medical care.

A family caregiver is not a professional caregiver that provides services to families for a fee.
