Twenty-nine percent do not consider themselves to be such, hence, the report refers to them as Non-Primary
caregivers. The remaining 3 percent of caregivers are “not sure.” The faces of caregivers range from family members to outsourced individuals. 

"Among all caregivers, the population is split almost evenly with slightly more women (53 percent) than men
(47 percent). Millennials (34 percent) and Baby Boomers (37 percent) are more likely to be caregivers than
Generation X (22 percent). Fifty-two percent are employed either full-time or part-time. Caregivers’
household income is $57,000 (estimated median)."

  • The Medicaid Self-Directed Care program lets qualified people manage their own health services. It also lets them hire family members as caregivers in some states. 
  • The Veteran-Directed Home and Community Based Services program offers veterans a flexible budget. This allows them to choose goods and services they find most useful, including hiring a family member or neighbor as a personal care aide.
  • Aid and Attendance benefits for veterans work in conjunction with a VA pension. These benefits help cover the costs of a caregiver, who may be a family member. Contact the VA pension management center in your area for rules and conditions.
  • Long-Term Care Insurance allows family members to be paid as caregivers. But some policies won’t pay family members who live with the person they’re caring for. Contact your family member's insurance agent for more information. You can also ask the agent for a written confirmation of benefits.

    Caregiving causes caregivers stress due to emotional and physical strain. Stress levels are much higher among caregivers than among non-caregivers. A majority of caregivers provide assistance or are "on call" almost 24 hours a day. In some cases, this results in little time to spend with family members or friends or to work.
