Dear John,
A January article examined the prevalence of informal caregiving in
residential care facilities and nursing homes.
Informal Caregiving
Informal care, or care provided by family and friends, is a very common
form of care received by people who need assistance with activities of
daily living. However, not much is known about the role of informal care
in institutional settings, like residential care facilities or nursing
homes.
Norma Coe and Rachel Werner used survey data to assess the prevalence of
informal care receipt
before the COVID-19 pandemic among older adults across care settings.
They reported that more than half of nursing home residents surveyed
received help from informal caregivers: 65 percent received help for
household activities, 52 percent for mobility needs, and 61 percent for
self-care.
Among people who needed help and who received informal care, older
adults received an average 65 hours per month if they lived in a
residential care facility and 37.4 hours per month if they lived in a
nursing home.
