Family, friends struggle to provide personal care

Millions of Americans need help with everyday activities, and many others have loved ones who need assistance. Providing personal care is an ongoing struggle, and 18% of adults say they or a family member need new or additional support beyond what they have.

Personal care services are designed for those who need ongoing support for daily activities, to help them remain self-sufficient and live independently. While many may receive this from a paid nurse or aide, some rely on family and friends to have their needs met. This can be challenging for those who must work and provide care simultaneously.
