Issues faced by caregivers of elderly, disabled, or aging individuals.
Family caregivers are relatives, friends, or neighbors who support dependent individuals in their daily lives. They provide essential help, allowing people to remain at home despite illness, disability, or aging.
Their work often involves organization, care, and emotional support, yet it is usually unpaid.
This commitment can have significant consequences on their health, social life, and professional activity.
Challenges and caregiver burnout
Caregivers are often driven by family values or personal commitment.
However, over time, this involvement can lead to physical and emotional exhaustion. Stress, fatigue, and isolation are common.
Professional support exists but is often expensive and not accessible to everyone.
Many caregivers are unaware of alternative solutions that could ease their daily burden.
