This podcast is dedicated to unpaid caregivers who take care of their loved ones, but unpaid doesn't mean there aren't costs to be covered. Either direct costs such as food and transportation needs for your loved one. There are also indirect costs like missed opportunities at work because you take time to be with your loved one. Catherine Cook with the Houston Area Agency on Aging joined our host, Marie-Pierre, to discuss these costs on a professional and personal level. She also talks about the challenges some people in the African American communities may face when caring for someone.
