Abstract

With the advancements in medical technology, individuals are living longer with multiple chronic illnesses. This translates to aging adults providing care to loved ones as informal caregivers. When caregiving extends into years and even decades, the caregiver can suffer from caregiver syndrome. Identifying those suffering from this condition is the necessary first step to providing them the care they require to live more fulfilling lives.
