Description
Alice Yip and co-authors explore long-term care planning for children with intellectual disabilities after COVID-19 in a 2024 qualitative study in Hong Kong. Family caregivers face hard planning choices, and the pandemic sharpened every strain.
Twelve caregivers of adults with intellectual disabilities gave deep interviews on planning during the late pandemic. Four themes emerged: planning a loved one future alone, the burden of arranging care, family tensions over plans, and pandemic-driven worry growth. Painful feelings and exhaustion often stalled planning. The authors urge policy and professional support, more respite options, and guided talks on future homes. The study gives voice to an overlooked caregiver group.
