Description

Kate Perepezko, Pam Toto, and Beth Fields study family helpers in a home aging program in a paper from 2024. The program, called CAPABLE, helps older adults live safely at home. Many such programs ignore the relatives and friends who give daily support. The team tracked how those helpers took part, using visit contacts, goals, and staff notes.

Three helper types emerged, which the authors show as simple personas. One helper stayed distant, one joined in but had a full-time job, and one focused hard on safety. Each type set different goals and gave different support. The authors say future programs should plan for these varied roles from the start.
