The Fact
AARP and the National Alliance for Caregiving reported that half of family caregivers said caregiving had a negative financial impact on them in 2025.
What This Means
Family care can affect household finances directly, not only through time. The caregiving equation can include lost earnings, added expenses, reduced savings, or other financial effects.
