One of the biggest challenges in caregiving today is the growing gap between the number of people who need care and the number of caregivers available. Many senior living communities are already feeling the pressure and struggling to meet the increasing demand. As the need continues to rise, families are increasingly taking on a more active role in caring for their loved ones.

As a result, more families are opting to care for their loved ones at home, taking on the responsibility personally. This shift reflects not only a response to the caregiver shortage but also a more profound desire to provide care in a more personal and familiar setting. It’s a move toward compassion-driven, home-based care that values connection and comfort.
