Through the eyes of a family caregiver. Part 2: Strategies to manage caregiver problems.
With the ever-increasing number of U.S. senior citizens, maintaining the health of care-givers for the chronically ill has become a major public concern. About 20% of older Americans need help getting out of bed and bathing. Millions more need help with finances, meals, and transportation. Overwhelmingly, their families provide that help; only about 5% of elderly Americans live in nursing homes.
