Most caregivers give more than their time.

“AARP’s new report shows the stark reality family caregivers face today,” says Nancy LeaMond, chief advocacy and engagement officer for AARP. “While financial challenges cross all segments of society, they hit hardest for Hispanic/Latino, African American and younger caregivers, as well as those caring for loved ones with dementia. Family caregivers are the backbone of America’s long-term care system, and that backbone is breaking.”
