    Did you know? ​ About 44.4 million persons in the U.S. are family caregivers 46 is the average age of a family caregiver 61% of family caregivers are women 4.3 is the average length of time (in years) that family caregivers provide care 59% of family caregivers are employed ​ SOURCE: Caregiving in The U.S., National Alliance for Caregiving & AARP, Funded by the MetLife Foundation and the Mature Market Institute® Approximately 22.9 million households provide unpaid care to an adult family member or friend who is age 18 and older. ​ On average, family caregivers provide 21 hours of care per week. This “free” care, however, is not without cost; many family caregivers feel isolated, stressed by balancing work, family, and caregiving, and perhaps even depressed. ​ The value of family caregiving to society has been estimated to be $306 billion annually. ​ Nearly 60% of those caring for an adult over age 50 are working, the majority of them full time. In the past, responsibilities for caregiving almost exclusively belonged to women, but currently about 39% of caregivers are men. SOURCE: Study by the Mature Market Institute® and National Alliance for Caregiving in cooperation with the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging ​ In one important study done by the Mature Market Institute, those surveyed said they made at least one formal adjustment to their work schedule as a result of caring for a partner or other family member: 16% quit their job 20% cut back to part-time 22% took a leave of absence Respondents also stated that caregiving affected their ability to advance on the job: 29% passed up a promotion, training or assignment 25% passed up an opportunity for job transfer or Job relocation 22% were unable to acquire new job skills SOURCE: Findings from a National Study by the National Alliance for Caregiving and the National Center on Women and Aging at Brandeis University; Findings collected and issued by Mature Market Institute® called “MetLife Juggling Act Study: Balancing caregiving with work and the costs involved” – 1999 ​ Nearly six in ten caregivers (59%) say they have worked at some time while they were actively providing care. Of these, six in ten (62%) say they had to make some work-related adjustments in order to help the person they care for. ​ More than half (57%) of working caregivers say that as a result of their caregiving responsibilities they have had to go in (to work) late, leave early, or take time off during the day to provide care. ​ SOURCE — Caregiving in The U.S., National Alliance for Caregiving & AARP, April 2004 Funded by the MetLife Foundation and the Mature Market Institute® ​ ​ ​

    There are many benefits to home healthcare most importantly it allows a person to stay home instead of relocating to a facility. Depending on a person's needs, home health care can consist of medical care like wound care and non-medical care like help with bathing or meal preparation. Different Types of Home HealthCare. There are two primary types of home health care: ​ Medical Care. This type of home health care—often called skilled care—is provided by a medical professional, such as a physician, registered nurse, or physical therapist. They could provide wound care and physical, occupational, and speech therapy services. Other potential benefits include person and caregiver education, injections, and nutrition therapy. A doctor prescribes medical home health care. ​ Non-Medical Care. Non-medical care includes "assistance with activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, meal preparation, transportation to and from physician appointments, running errands, shopping and housekeeping. Care Management and ABI Resources provide Non-Medical support services. ​ What to Expect. When a new person signs up for home health care through the Medicaid MFP Money Follows the Person program or the Medicaid ABI Waiver Program, a Care Manager first meets with the family at home to understand their goals and precisely what services they need. The Care Manager then prepares and provides a detailed personalized care plan. This meeting helps ABI Resources match a caregiver with the right skills, personality, and suitable schedule compatibility with the individual that will be taking care of them in their home. Anyone signing up for high-quality home health care should expect a similar process. Once home health care starts, the person, Care Manager, and ABI Resources work together to determine the appropriate days and hours for visits. It varies greatly from one hour at a time to 24-hour care. In addition, ABI Resources "may act as a liaison," assisting with communication between the person and their healthcare team. ABI Resources are the eyes and ears inside the home. The doctor may only see a person intermittently, so sometimes ABI Resources can head off more significant medical issues by seeing signs and symptoms earlier. ABI Resources also reduces a person’s loneliness, improving their mental and physical health. ABI Resources Team Members form a strong bond and become part of the family as they share hours and multiple days of the week with a person. ABI Resources can also help reduce hospital readmissions. For instance, those who receive ABI Resources home visits experienced fewer hospital readmissions after they were discharged from the hospital compared to persons who didn't receive home services. ​ ABI RESOURCES CONNECTICUT ACQUIRED BRAIN INJURY ABI WAIVER AND CT MFP PROGRAM SUPPORTED LIVING CT COMMUNITY CARE LEADERS .
