63 million Americans are family caregivers
A report from AARP and the National Alliance for Caregiving released today found nearly 1 in 4 U.S. adults (63 million) are caring for an adult or child with a complex medical condition or disability. Over half of the caretakers are managing complex medical and nursing tasks like injections, wound care or medication management, though only 20% have training to do so.
