More than 53 million Americans care for a friend or family member with a 
disability or health care need. The COVID-19 pandemic has magnified the 
fact that our institutions are not prepared to support family caregivers. 
Many caregivers are “sandwiched” between caring for an aging parent or 
older adult while also raising children. In this episode, we discuss 
caregiving challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic and provide 
information on support and resources available.
