The Hidden Cost of Caregiving: Families Are Struggling
Caring for a loved one isn’t just emotionally draining—it’s a financial crisis for many families. Custodial care alone can cost up to $30 per hour for certified home care services. Many families can’t afford this, forcing them to leave their jobs and sacrifice their income to provide care themselves. From medical bills to home modifications, caregivers spend thousands out of pocket each year. Some cut back on savings, others take on debt, and many even skip meals to make ends meet.
📢 It’s time to recognize and support caregivers! We need policies that ease the financial burden and give families the relief they deserve.
