Mississippi Caregivers
In Mississippi, approximately 470,000 family caregivers provided an estimated 400 million hours of care — worth a staggering $4.7 billion — to their parents, spouses, partners, and friends in 2017, according to state data available in the latest report of AARP’s Valuing the Invaluable series.
November is National Family Caregiver Month, and AARP Mississippi will highlight the need to support caregivers and those for whom they care.
