What defines being a caregiver? You are a caregiver if you help or support another person in need due to physical or mental, cognitive or functional limitations, whether you help full-time or as time permits. The person needing help may live in their own home, with you or in a residential setting. Military and veteran caregivers may face special challenges. Sometimes, veterans have unique physical, emotional and behavioral conditions that require specialized care. Providing care for these veterans can be complicated and challenging, and you are deserving of receiving extra help.
