Cuidadores esenciales, pero sin acceso a recursos (La Opinión)

La Opinión reports on how many family caregivers in California—especially those who don’t self-identify as caregivers—lack access to the information, services, and support they need as they provide most long-term care for older adults. The article highlights insights from Donna Benton of the USC Leonard Davis School’s Family Caregiver Support Center, who emphasizes that with more people living into their 80s and beyond, caregiving can extend for many years and that caregivers need more support, respite, and community resources to sustain themselves and the dependents they care for. “Society has not adapted to this change in needs, especially considering how complex it is now to care for someone at home.”
