AARP’s findings underscore a structural reliance on unpaid labor that masks systemic underinvestment in long-term care infrastructure. As the owner of four residential care homes specializing in memory care, I have seen firsthand the toll caregiving takes on families and the critical importance of supportive services, especially for those caring for loved ones at home. https://tinyurl.com/43uehmns
