Older Americans' Attitudes Toward Caregiving Cost Responsibility and Long‐Term Care Access and Costs by Caregiver Status

Most older Americans are concerned about access to long-term care and costs, yet remain divided on who primarily should pay for caregiving costs. Caregivers are both more concerned about long-term care access and more likely to support the government's primary responsibility for caregiving costs than noncaregivers. Policymakers should consider more options for access to affordable, high-quality long-term care, and financial supports for caregivers.

Abstract

Most older Americans are concerned about access to long-term care and costs, yet remain divided on who primarily should pay for caregiving costs. Caregivers are both more concerned about long-term care access and more likely to support the government's primary responsibility for caregiving costs than noncaregivers. Policymakers should consider more options for access to affordable, high-quality long-term care, and financial supports for caregivers.
