Support for Caregivers
Over a third of caregivers must use their personal finances and savings to pay for the needs of the person they care for. They often have to cut back on their or their family’s spending to do so. Some will need a loan or sell off other assets to afford care. Those caring for children and older adults at the same time are facing the greatest financial hardships.
