Abstract

Providing care to children and adults requires time and resources. In this snapshot, we explore the supports used by caregivers and the supports they still need. Since the caregiving needs of children and adults vary, we also explore variations in supports used based on the type of care provided. Overall, we find that caregivers use and desire a variety of programs and resources to support them in their caregiving duties. There were important differences in needs based on who they care for. Those who care for both children and adults (also sometimes referred to as the “sandwich generation”) consistently reported a greater need for support.
