Abstract

This paper defines the Caregiver, discusses educating the Caregiver and the Caregiving Paradigm and concludes by stating that The Govemment of Trinidad and Tobago could be commended for the continued fervour to implement the policies and legislation enacted. These measures would also affect the necessary changes for tomorrow's challenges and to provide the safety nets for a successful ageing population.  The paper also reminds us that Caregivers are needed.
