A few years ago while working on a video project pertaining to family caregivers, I met many remarkable people. One caregiver, Cindy, who is featured in the video, personified its title, “Caregiving: An Act of Love.” Cindy arises each morning, often before dawn, dresses for her workday and then hurries off to her mother’s apartment. Once there, she awakens and dresses her 80-year-old mother, who has Alzheimer’s disease and a brain tumor. Then she prepares breakfast, lunch and medications for the day. Her 53-year-old brother, who has a neuromuscular disease and is legally blind, also lives in the apartment and requires assistance.

When her morning caregiving duties are done, Cindy reports for her 40-hour-a-week job. Sometimes she gets away at lunch to check on her family members. Other days, she must take time to get family members to medical appointments. Following work, she is back at the apartment fixing dinner and getting her loved ones ready for bed. Then it’s off to home where she can finally have her evening meal and spend some time with her husband.

Cindy is one of a growing number of people providing care for a chronically ill, disabled, or aged family member.

Caregiving can take its toll and often comes at a substantial cost to the family caregiver. It can physically, financially and emotionally drain the caregiver. It often impacts their employment and isolates them from friends and leisure activities.
