class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2020, the American Association for Retired Persons (AARP) and the National Caregiver Alliance (NAC) teamed up to assess the reality of the <em>caregiver crisis<\/em>, and here\u2019s what they found:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>23% of family caregivers believe that their own health has declined<\/strong> as a result of their caregiving duties, and nearly 1 in 4 caregivers characterize their health as \u201cfair to poor\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>24% of family caregivers are are now providing care for more than one one adult<\/strong> (note: this does not include members of the <em>Sandwich Generation<\/em>, those sandwiched between senior care and child care duties)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>26% of family caregivers report difficulty coordinating care<\/strong> for friends and family members<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>61% of family caregivers work full or part-time <\/strong>in addition to their unpaid hours supporting friends and family<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based on these data alone, it is clear that respite care solutions are badly needed. But since the COVID-19 pandemic, the caregiver crisis has only gotten worse, as the increased demand for support (e.g. supply runs and social visits), plus the stress of confinement, made the burden even harder to bear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The literature leaves no doubt: one report by the <em>Journal of Alzheimer\u2019s Disease<\/em> linked the COVID-19 pandemic with heightened \u201ccaregiver distress severity\u201d (Alexopoulos et al., 2021); another study by the <em>International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry<\/em> found that \u201ccompared to pre\u2010pandemic levels, all caregivers experienced a significant increase in burden, loneliness, and isolation\u201d (Grycuk et al., 2022).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But don\u2019t despair\u2014while the stress of informal caregiving might have increased, so too has the number of respite care solutions available to Madison families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read on to learn 3 ways Always Best Care is fighting back against Madison\u2019s care crisis, or call (608)-315-2378 to schedule a free consultation now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Respite_Care_Solutions_In_Madison_WI_3_Ways_We_Lift_The_Burden\"><\/span>Respite Care Solutions In Madison, WI: 3 Ways We Lift The Burden<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" type=\"1\" start=\"1\">\n<li><strong>Make time to rest and recuperate. <\/strong>Finding time in your busy schedule isn\u2019t easy, but what if you could <em>make <\/em>time?
