EMF22-03: Caregiving Arrangements for Older Adults: The Relationship between Family Characteristics and Public Benefits

Authors

  • Emily Ellis

Abstract

The majority of adults in the United States will need some form of long-term care before they die, though we know little about how characteristics of the whole family affect which caregiving arrangements older adults use. We also know little about how receipt of Social Security benefits affects caregiving arrangements, and how this varies by family type. Better understanding these relationships can inform if and how Social Security supports families with caregiving needs.
