Not only is caregiving an extremely challenging role, it’s also one that can go on for many years. More than half of our members have been a family caregiver for more than 5 years. Long-term caregiving presents its own set of very real concerns. Wondering how much longer you can handle the situation. Worrying about having enough money. Handling heavier caregiving burdens as your loved one’s condition worsens and you get older. These resources are tailored to help the long-term family caregiver.
