A critical shortage of professional caregivers

 

As demand for in-home care skyrockets, millions of current care workers are retiring or finding new professions, creating a severe shortage of professional caregivers. By 2026, the U.S. will have a projected 7.8 million job openings.

How will this gap be filled?

 

Family members feel the pressure of providing care.

 

With a shortage of home care workers and a lack of other affordable, high-quality care options, family caregivers feel increasingly overwhelmed – mentally, physically, and financially.

 

~42 million

US adults provide unpaid care to a loved one over 50.

26%

of unpaid caregivers are supporting a loved one who has Alzheimer’s or other dementia.

>60%

of all US unpaid caregivers are women.

23.7 hours

on average spent per week providing unpaid care.

It’s time for a new generation of longevity care solutions.

As millions choose to age at home, a new generation of longevity care solutions must emerge to support not just those who require care, but also those who provide it.

These transformative, new care models 
must be more affordable, accessible, and convenient, but without sacrificing a high standard of care.
