To have a caregiver, a person may have to decide on changes on where they live and with whom they live. When someone needs a caregiver, the two must meet, and this typically happens either in the person’s own home or the caregiver’s home. Consequently, this could mean that a person moves to live with the caregiver, or the caregiver moves to live with the person. It is also possible that the caregiver only visits occasionally or is able to provide support remotely, or that the person who needs care is able to travel to the caregiver to get it.
A common example of this is when a parent gets older and has previously lived alone. If the parent’s children are to be caregivers, then they may move in with the parent or have the parent move in with them.
