We know that providing care for someone is no easy feat. The Home Alone study, which is a study of family caregivers who provide complex chronic care, found that nearly half of the caregivers surveyed performed medical & nursing tasks. More than 96% also provided activities of daily living supports (e.g., personal hygiene, dressing/undressing, or getting in and out of bed) or instrumental activities of daily living (e.g., taking prescribed medications, shopping for groceries, transportation or using technology). Of these caregivers, nearly two-thirds of this group performed all three types of tasks for their patients.
