Supporting Caregivers with Digital Tools
As the number of adult caregivers continues to grow, the expansion of resources that cater specifically to their needs is essential. According to the National Alliance for Caregiving, you can expect roughly 20% of adults aged 18 and above in the United States to offer caregiving support—most often for older adults. Given that caregiving can be both a rewarding yet challenging endeavor, it is crucial to equip these caregivers with the tools necessary to navigate their role effectively.
