Kathy Good - Caregiving is Our Language - Part 2

This week Kathy Good, who serves as the Senior Director of the Chris and Suzy DeWolf Family Innovation Center for Aging and Dementia, is back on the podcast. If you haven’t listened to the first episode in the series that was released last week, I would encourage you to go back and listen. In this episode we discuss more about caregiving and share some statistics on caregiving and its impact on those who are providing care. According to AARP, there are nearly 48 million family caregivers in the United States and of those 61% are working while juggling caregiving responsibilities. If you don’t live in eastern Iowa, the Chris and Suzy DeWolf Family Innovation Center for Aging and Dementia has many virtual resources you can utilize, so please see the links in the show notes for more information.  CDC Statistics on Caregiving AARP Resources for Caregiving AARP U.S. Workforce Report Statistics Chris and Suzy DeWolf Family Innovation Center for Aging and Dementia Family Caregivers Center Volunteer at the Family Caregivers Center Abe’s Garden, Nashville, TN “My World Wore a Bowtie” by Kathy Good
