- Summary:
- Each year, older Americans who need long-term services and supports (LTSS) receive unpaid assistance with personal care from millions of helpers. Far more older people with care needs receive unpaid care than paid care. Unpaid care reduces the need for expensive paid care and enables many older people with LTSS needs to stay at home instead of moving into residential care facilities. We project that the average lifetime value of unpaid care after age 50 among those who receive care is 168,000. Nearly a quarter of care recipients receive unpaid care valued at 250,000 or more.
