Family caregivers spend a large amount of their income on care costs
|
A large portion of a caregiver’s salary goes to the health needs of their family members, a new study shows.

The Alzheimer’s Association also reported earlier this year that Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia hit caregivers’ pocketbooks especially hard.
