Definition

  • Caregiving for a dependent older adult is a significant influence on human development because it affects an individual's physical, emotional, financial, and mental well-being. This entry summarizes the prevalence of caregiving, discusses caregivers' motives and the processes by which they become caregivers, and reviews the psychological outcomes of providing care to a frail older adult.
