Do you help take care of an adult with chronic conditions? If so, you are not alone. Over 43.5 million family caregivers in America provide a vast array of emotional, financial, nursing, social, homemaking and other services on a daily or an intermittent basis.

Do you provide care and support to a family member who is elderly, ill or has a disability? “You are not alone, many Iowans are caregivers”, says Phyllis Zalenski, Human Sciences Specialist in Family Finance with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. Most families wait until they are deep into their responsibilities of caregiving for a loved one before they seek out options.
