Description
Janice Bell and co-authors describe unmet needs among family caregivers in California in a 2024 study. Over 56 million Americans gave unpaid care to a family member in the past year. Care is growing more intense as older adults live longer with chronic illness.
The team used records from eleven caregiver centers across the state. Almost half the caregivers came from minority groups. Older and low-income caregivers more often gave over 40 hours a week of high-intensity care. Younger, minority, and low-income caregivers did more medical tasks, yet had the least help and the worst health and mood. The findings feed a state equity plan for caregivers.
