Family caregivers are the backbone of care in America, and the numbers show it.
- About 38 million Americans are family caregivers for an adult who needs help with daily life.
- They give an average of 18 hours of care a week. That added up to about $600 billion of unpaid care in 2021.
- 3 in 5 of them also hold a job.
Close to home, about 1.5 million of those caregivers live in Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Colorado.
Behind every number is a person who shows up, day after day.
This National Family Caregivers Month, we're honored to be part of the care team alongside you.
