Many Family Caregivers In Ohio Face Financial Hardship

(ONN) – It is estimated that one in four adults are unpaid family caregivers in Ohio.

A new study explores the financial hardships associated with that care.

An AARP Ohio study finds many family caregivers in the state are facing serious financial strain.

About one in four Ohioans provide unpaid care for aging adults, often spending their own money on essentials like food, housing, and medicine.

The report says most caregivers are also working jobs while juggling rising debt and unpaid bills.

Experts say a shortage of home health workers is adding pressure as lawmakers look for solutions.
