Volunteer Caregiver

A volunteer caregiver is an individual who dedicates their time and effort voluntarily to assist caregivers and or someone else with their needs, often those related to personal care, mobility or companionship, without expecting payment or any other gain. Volunteer caregiving can provide significant benefits to both the caregiver and the person receiving care. For the caregiver, it can be a rewarding experience that fosters a sense of purpose and connection. For the person receiving care, it can provide valuable assistance, companionship and emotional support.
