Caregiving is a 24/7 responsibility and caregiver stress is very real. Caregiving can impact a caregiver’s professional life, family and personal relationships, their health, and can have negative financial consequences. Yet every day, women & men serve as caregivers to parents, spouses, friends, and neighbors who are elderly or have disabilities. Caregivers do housework, provide personal care, shop and prepare food, schedule and drive to appointments, give medication, plan activities, and offer emotional support. Many do this while work- ing full-time and raising families. And they do this so that their loved one can remain in their own home.
