A 'caregiver' is a term that's commonly used in hospitals to refer to the people who will be taking care of a patient upon discharge. Therefore, a 'caregiver' could be the maid who will be looking after the patient, or the patient's children or relatives who will be looking after their everyday needs.
There are programs in Singapore hospitals like "Caring for the Caregiver", which is a support group where the caregivers meet regularly to vent their frustrations, destress, and share tips and ideas.
Therefore, FI is right, the term "caregiver" may not necessarily denote a medically-trained professional like a nurse. -

The caring role is something we often take for granted. When a family member falls ill or has an ailment or disability, their loved ones naturally becomes their caregivers, taking care of them 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, or sometimes for years. The caregiver provides not only the physical care, but also the emotional support which is so critical at such times. Caregivers are unsung heroes. Their efforts have allowed their dependents to continue living at home in familiar settings. Most of them struggle to balance family responsibility of being a spouse, parent, sibling as well as a caregiver. Some have to balance work with caregiving.
