IMPROVE PRODUCTIVITY

Family Caregivers are the glue that connects vulnerable adults who are living with complex medical, functional and behavioral challenges to the support they need. As the United States faces a serious shortage of nurses and physicians and people continue to live longer with more complex health challenges, the role of family caregivers will only grow in influence.

Evidence reflects that providing family caregivers with expert advice improves the wellbeing of these employed caregivers. When family caregivers are educated and empowered, their wellbeing and absenteeism is improved.
