There are two basic kinds of home care providers: formal caregivers such as nurses, therapists, and personal support workers; and informal caregivers, usually family members or friends. 1, record 1, English, - formal%20caregiver

Since the increasing demand from the population for home care is not always being met by formal (paid) care providers, there is an increasing trend to rely on informal caregivers (family and friends) and volunteers to meet needs that might otherwise be met by formal care providers. 2, record 1, English, - formal%20caregiver

Les fournisseurs de soins à domicile se répartissent en deux groupes : les soignants professionnels infirmières, thérapeutes et préposés au soutien personnel et les aidants naturels généralement des membres de la famille ou des amis. 1, record 1, French, - soignant%20professionnel

Puisque la demande croissante formulée par la population n'est pas toujours satisfaite par les fournisseurs de soins professionnels (rémunérés), on note une tendance prononcée à faire appel aux aidants naturels (membres de la famille et proches) et à des bénévoles pour combler des besoins qui pourraient être comblés autrement par les premiers. 2, record 1, French, - soignant%20professionnel
