Next Avenue Special Report: Caregiving in America - The 24/7 Caregiver
Next Avenue has produced a special report presented by The John A. Hartford Foundation on "Caregiving in America: The 24/7 Caregiver."
Caregiving is a key cornerstone to a healthy society and a pinnacle of quality care. As the nation's population ages, informal and formal caregivers have become even more essential. Next Avenue's special report, Caregiving in America: The 24/7 Caregiver, calls attention to diverse caregivers and their needs, explores what an inclusive, comprehensive space for caregivers looks like, and elevates dialogues focused on the heart of caregiving.
As part of the special report, Next Avenue has an Advice Column for Caregivers hosted by resident expert, Jason Resendez, President and CEO of the National Alliance for Caregiving (NAC), who is answering caregiving questions. Go to Next Avenue to ask your question; all questions will remain anonymous and may be edited for length or clarity.
Next Avenue also held a virtual discussion on June 28, "Caregiving in America: The 24/7 Caregiver." NAC’s Jason Resendez and JAHF’s Rani Snyder joined the briefing featuring personal stories, a new national strategy and resources available now to support family caregivers. Watch the recording.
