It is common for family members to become the first and/or only source of support for older adults and adults living with disabilities. In fact, more than one in five people is a family caregiver for an adult, according to the National Alliance for Caregiving (NAC) and AARP. Most family caregivers provide:
- Help with bathing, grooming and dressing
- Food preparation and feeding
- Mobility assistance
- Financial aid and money management
- Transportation
- Grocery shopping
- Laundry and light housekeeping
- Medication management
- Mental health support
