Caregiver Statistics

  • ​4.3 is the average length of time (in years) that family caregivers provide care (NAC/AARP, 2004).

​​

  • The majority (83%) are family caregivers—unpaid persons such as family members, friends, and neighbors of all ages who are providing care for a relative (FCA, 2005)

  • An estimated 21% of households in the United States are impacted by caregiving responsibilities (NAC, 2004).

​

  • Half (53%) of caregivers who said their health had gotten worse due to caregiving also said the decline in their health has affected their ability to provide care (NAC, 2006).
