Families are the primary source of support for older adults and people with disabilities in the U.S. Many caregivers work and also provide care, experiencing c...onflicts between competing responsibilities. Research indicates caregiving also takes a significant emotional, physical, and financial toll. With nearly half of all caregivers over age 50, many are vulnerable to a decline in their own health. Studies show that coordinated support services can reduce caregiver depression, anxiety, and stress, and enable them to provide care longer, which avoids or delays the need for costly institutional care. SeniorAge can help. 417-862-0762 See more
