On Monday, The Washington Post posted the results of a report that share who is out of work: Four times as many Americans are out of work taking care of adult family members than those who stopped working to care for children during the pandemic. It’s an eye-opening stat but it shouldn’t shock us. During our personal caregiving experience, we struggle to find and receive help because of the direct care workforce shortage. We may worry so much about moving a caree into a facility that we continue to care at home even as care at home becomes more stressful and challenging.
Absolutely true. I'm stunned to see the level of investment, however. My app would keep people aging in place longer with no - or only minimal - family support. Each time I pitch it, however, the objection - despite statistics like these and others - is that there is no need for what I offer because there is no problem.
