Abstract/ Summary
Whether or not an older individual is able to remain living in their home or not often depends on the availability of a family caregiver. These informal caregivers are crucial for activities of daily living, monitoring medications, and monitoring the patient’s condition. The primary care physician should ensure that all members of the caregiving team fully communicates with each other.
