Family caregiving can get lonely — it doesn’t have to be (India Currents)

India Currents (via NewsBreak) explores the emotional and social isolation many family caregivers face and highlights the importance of preparing ahead and accessing support services for sustainability and well-being. Pointing out the lack of infrastructure and the expenses of caregiving, Donna Benton said,  “We don’t have as many paid caregivers who can help. Even for an informal family caregiver, we have a lot of systemic barriers – payment rules and health insurance rules that have become so complicated that you need a degree in how to handle healthcare financing.”
