The Fact
AARP and the National Alliance for Caregiving reported that more than 40% of family caregivers provided high-intensity care in 2025.
What This Means
A large share of family caregiving involves substantial demands rather than occasional help. That matters when caregiving is combined with paid work, household responsibilities, and financial support across generations.
