There are many senior citizens in the U.S. who receive care in their homes from a family member. These informal caregivers take it upon themselves to devote their time and their energy to ensuring that their elderly loved ones get the care they need to continue living safely at home. However, assuming the role of a family caregivers is difficult as the job demands long hours that can be physically and emotionally taxing.
Family caregivers often devote more of their time to providing care for their loved ones than taking care of themselves. It is common for family caregivers to lose sleep which can lead to stress and physical health issues. If family caregivers also have children of their own and careers, they will have very little time to devote to these things.
