We are families caring for our vulnerable loved ones. We have been advocating for their wellbeing and in many cases have been their primary caregiver throughout their lives. This was challenging when we were younger but aging, disabilities and death of a family member has left us unprepared to care for our loved ones.
Currently 35% of caregivers for individuals with developmental or disabilities are 65+ years old.
Many of these individuals have severe behavioral needs and there is currently no safety net beyond their aging caregivers.
