Caregivers provide care to their patients so they can overcome illness or injury, or to support individuals plagued by chronic conditions. Caregivers may be paid professionals who are employed in the medical field, but many are friends and family members who step up when needed. The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health reports there are 53 million unpaid caregivers providing care for loved ones in the home across the United States. It is estimated these people provide more than $870 billion a year in service to society in terms of caring for others. In 2022, Statistics Canada estimated that 13.4 million Canadians age 15 or older (42 percent of the population) provided unpaid care to either children or dependent adults. Unpaid caregivers have been called upon more readily due to certain factors, namely that people are living longer and there are limited resources available to provide care. The cost of long-term professional care is out of reach for many families when services are not covered by private insurance or government-subsidized health programs.
