“There are only four kinds of people in this world—those who have been caregivers, those who currently are caregivers, those who will be caregivers and those who need caregivers.”
-Rosalyn Carter
Are you a family caregiver?
A family caregiver is someone who provides unpaid care to a loved one who is aging, ill, living with a disability, or recovering from injury or medical treatment. They are often the first responders in home care, juggling medical coordination, household responsibilities, and emotional support without recognition, relief, or preparation.

Caregiver Statistics
-
​Approximately 1 in 4 U.S. adults are serving as family caregivers (i.e., around 24% of the adult population)(CAPC, 2025).
​​
-
Roughly 24% of caregivers provide 40 or more hours per week of care. (JAHF,2025)
-
about 63 million Americans are caregiving for an adult or a child with a complex condition or disability (AHA, 2025).
​
-
Over half (≈ 55%) of caregivers are performing medical / nursing tasks (e.g., injections, wound care, medication management) in addition to “activities of daily living” (ADLs) (CAPC,2025).
Family caregivers are everywhere yet too often, they are carrying the weight alone. Their role can be deeply meaningful, but it also brings overwhelming stress, financial strain, and serious impacts on physical and emotional health. Many find themselves navigating medical tasks, complex systems, and difficult decisions without guidance or respite.
​
Caregivers Outreach is here to change that!
We equip caregivers with the knowledge, support, and encouragement they need to advocate for their loved ones and for themselves. Through education, resources, community connections, and wellness support, we help transform caregiving from an isolating and exhausting responsibility into an experience rooted in preparation, confidence, and improved quality of life.
