INFORMAL CAREGIVERS |
|
Informal Caregivers are family members, loved ones, or friends and neighbours who provide support or care for the dying family member, loved one, or friend. The CHPCA’s A Model to Guide Hospice Palliative Care: Based on National Principles and Norms of Practice (2002) defines "Informal Caregivers" as, “not members of an organization. They have no formal training, and are not accountable to standards of conduct or practice. They may be family members or friends.” RESOURCE INVENTORY FOR INFORMAL CAREGIVERS: Caring for a Dying Loved One Voluntary Sector Initiative - Caregiver Project The
