Caring is often a two way street and this is more accurately captured by the term "care partner." A partnership is characterized by mutual cooperation. There are opportunities to give as well as receive by the person with a chronic disease as well as their partner.
The term "care partner" is a more inclusive term than caregiver and words do matter. Care Partner evokes a mutual sense of purpose as each person in the partnership has a role in the care and support provided.
