This Week in Caregiving from the National Alliance for Caregiving
Here are the highlights from this week's news in family caregiving:
USA Today | October 6, 2016
"We've created Lightpost, the newest part of the USA TODAY Network, to help future and current caregivers navigate the waters of their new life helping someone they love. The free guides use expert insight, personal experiences and interactive tools to help de-mystify the more overwhelming bits of life."
Stars and Stripes | October 3, 2016
"They are battling injuries we've never seen before. We don't know how those wounds will affect [injured service members] as they age, which means, we don't have a good enough idea what that will mean to their caregivers. So the challenges those 1.1 million post-9/11 caregivers are seeing today are just a glimpse of the demands they may see by 2020, 2030, and 2040."
Forbes | October 2, 2016
"Caregiving impacts work performance; roughly 70% of caregivers report conflicts between work and caregiving. Juggling, as millions of employed family caregivers do, leads to increased absenteeism, workday interruptions and distractions, reduced hours, shifting workload to other employees, passing up promotions or assignments and taking a leave-of-absence or early retirement. How can caregivers keep all the work, family and caregiving balls in the air?"

PR Newswire
"A survey of families with children with special needs found that a large majority (82%) of caregivers are concerned that they do not have enough financial resources to last their disabled relative's entire lifetime. Just as alarming, because of the time and cost required for caring for those with special needs, 30% of caregivers are not saving at all for their own retirement."
