Caregiver Support | Health & Aging
Technology is a great resource for caregivers and seniors, especially due to the percentage of adult children caregiving from a distance. According to the National Institutes of Health, nearly 18 million Americans provide care to aging parents and other relatives, with 15% of these caregivers living at a distance to their loved ones.

One way we are doing this is through the use of technology.
