Welcome to the first episode in our new series on Caregivers. We want to shine a light on the commitment and dedication of the more than 44 million family caregivers who take care of loved ones, providing 4.7 million dollars’ worth of care every year. A family caregiver is defined as an individual who cares for a loved one with a short-term or long-term disability or illness. Also known as an informal or unpaid caregiver, they provide invaluable care to those who need some degree of ongoing assistance with everyday tasks on a regular basis.
As you listen to these conversations, we hope the experiences of our guests resonate and help you recognize your own caregiver needs. Be sure to reach out to AgeGuide and our funded partners to access resources and supports to help you on your caregiver journey.
Our first guest is Jennifer Agne, a caregiver for her mother and the administrator of Lilac Senior Living, a unique alternative housing solution for assisted living.
