Care for Your Loved One with Support Behind You
May is Older Americans Month, a time to recognize the importance of healthy aging and the growing need for care across Ohio. Today, more families than ever are stepping into caregiving roles, often without pay, training, or support.
At Comfort Keepers of Austintown, we’re here to change that.
We help families care for their loved ones at home while providing the resources, training, and guidance needed to make caregiving more sustainable for everyone involved.
The Growing Need for Family Caregivers in Ohio
Caregiving is a way of life for millions.
- More than 2.8 million Ohioans are age 60+, making up nearly a quarter of the population
- Ohio ranks #6 in the nation for older adult population
- By 2034, adults 65+ will be the fastest-growing group in the state
At the same time:
- 1 in 4 Ohio adults (2.2 million people) are caregivers
- The average caregiver is 52 years old, often balancing work and family
- 40% are caring for a parent
- 29% are part of the “sandwich generation”, caring for both children and aging adults
Caregiving is essential, but it’s also demanding.
The Hidden Challenges of Caregiving
Many family caregivers face real and lasting challenges:
- 41% experience financial strain, including debt or lost savings
- 34% receive no help at all
- 29% report emotional stress
And the workload is significant:
- 99% assist with daily tasks like meals, medications, and finances
- 62% help with personal care like bathing and dressing
- 57% handle medical or nursing-related tasks
- 23% provide 40+ hours of care each week
This isn’t just helping out, it’s a full-time responsibility.
