When your loved ones need help, you’re there for them. But caregiving is hard work. You know the tremendous time and expense it takes to care for an older loved one, but do our leaders?
That's why we’re calling on lawmakers to help you and our nation’s 48 million family caregivers save time and money — and get more support.
But we need your help. We’re asking caregivers, and people who support caregivers, across the country to raise their hands and show lawmakers that they can’t ignore the needs of so many Americans.
