The just-released reports shows that caregivers in lower income brackets
are more likely to assist with various tasks and are more likely to utilize services such as respite compared to higher income caregivers.
Caregivers providing care to recipients in rural areas assist in more caregiving tasks, have poorer self-reported health, and experience greater financial stress compared to caregivers that provide care in urban areas.
Surprisingly, the data did not suggest distinguishable correlation between socioeconomic status and caregiving intensity, as well as physical, emotional strain, or even financial strain.
