Why it matters
As more people identify as caregivers, many of them balancing jobs, families, and complex care responsibilities, often without sufficient support. Research shows:
Caregiver support reduces ER visits by up to 60%, improving healthcare system efficiency and individual well-being (Geller, 1999).
Supporting caregivers at discharge can cut readmission rates by 25%, addressing one of the healthcare system’s biggest challenges (Rodakowski, 2017).
Caregivers deliver care valued at $600 billion annually, yet only 28% feel adequately supported (AARP, 2020).
