520 _a"Almost a quarter of U.S. households--22 million--already are involved in caring for a relative or friend who is 50 or older, according to the non-profit National Alliance for Caregiving. And the U.S. Census Bureau says that by 2050, the percentage of Americans 65 and over will grow to 21 percent of the population from the current 12 percent. As many as 19 million are expected to need some type of long-term professional care. Many adult children, especially those without the financial resources to afford assisted living, will find themselves in the role of caregiver." (USA TODAY) This article examines the problems facing Americans who suddenly find themselves "becoming full-time caregivers, often with no preparation" for "aging relatives who can no longer care for themselves."
