November 8, 2024- There are an estimated 53 million family caregivers in the U.S. and growing, as the population ages and more people are getting care at home as compared to traditional long-term care facilities. Often called the “Sandwich Generation,” many middle-aged Americans are raising children while also caring for older parents or relatives, according to Walgreens.
Walgreens supports caregivers emotional needs, medical product advice, safety and comfort resources for patients, and more. Walgreens has launched its Caregiver Essentials Hub with all of these resources and more to help professional and home caregivers.
