Description
Ronald Berkowsky reviews in 2024 forty years of the volunteer caregiving movement in the United States. Community volunteers aid older adults who lack kin help or paid care funds. A faith-based pilot in nineteen eighty four launched the model nationally.
Network member data map the movement's current reach and care recipients. Volunteer care also builds cross-age ties and civic engagement in towns. Paid care's cost and strain drive the shift toward unpaid help. The talk sizes up where the movement stands after four decades. Aging in place stands as the movement's core promise to elders.
