My husband was my caregiver for over a year while I went through cancer treatments and then, surgery. He wished that someone would ask him how he was doing. Gift = Be the person that caregiver can talk to. Another gift is to pay for someone to clean for two hours and maybe they just do bathrooms and floors or if you have time and ability...be the cleaner.

Such a fabulous gift idea, @kjrita. Be the person that cares and listens to the caregiver. So often they get neglected as all the attention is focused on the patient's needs. The question has to be delivered with intent that the perfunctory "how are you?"
What words work?
