   A health care assistant, could be a certified nursing assistant, or a nurse who assists a doctor.etc etc. A caregiver is someone who takes care of one specific person, usually at that persons home. Helping them get dressed, washing themselves, making sure they take their medications. A caregiver can be the persons relative, but cannot dispence meds legally without a registered nurse present.
