Understanding Caregivers of Older Adults with Chronic Illness and Disability
This chapter focuses on the work of Dr. Haley, who studies the impact of caregiving on family caregivers of older adults with chronic illness and disability. It explores the physical and mental health effects of caregiving, the economic challenges faced by caregivers, and challenges the misconception that caregiving is uniformly stressful and thankless. The chapter also discusses resources and interventions available to support caregivers.
