In the U.S., more than 34 million family caregivers provide physical, emotional, and financial support for someone age 50 or older. It is a demanding role that can take a toll on a caregiver’s health and well-being. Support services like respite care, counseling, training, and support groups can improve well-being and the ability to manage caregiving responsibilities. These services are most effective when they meet the cultural and linguistic preferences of family caregivers.
