The Growing Challenge of Long-Distance Caregiving
Long-distance caregiving involves coordinating medical care, managing finances, navigating communication with on-the-ground providers, and handling the weight of responsibility without the immediacy of physical presence.The emotional toll is significant: Feelings of guilt, helplessness, and worry are common among long-distance caregivers. You may constantly wonder if you're doing enough, if your loved one is being honest about their condition, or if you'll be able to reach them quickly in an emergency.
Key statistics reveal the scope:
- One in four adult Americans is now a family caregiver, a 45% increase since 2015.
- Caregivers spend an average of 27 hours per week on caregiving tasks.
- 59% of family caregivers are women, reporting higher levels of emotional stress and depression.
- Nearly 47% of caregivers receive no formal support despite 88% saying they need more help.
