Support Family Caregiver Integration: Tools for Healthcare Delivery

Adult daughter supports her mother when she gets bad news from emergency room personnel.

Today, 63 million Americans provide mostly unpaid care to older adults, and more than half now perform complex clinical tasks at home with little to no training. Their unpaid contribution exceeds $1 trillion annually, making family caregivers one of the largest workforces in the U.S. health system. AARP offers the data, tools, and practices to help health system leaders, clinicians, and community providers make caregiver inclusion part of standard care.
