"According to the 2025 Caregiving in the US report, approximately 63 million Americans provide family care, with almost 48 million providing unpaid care to adults. The economic value of care was over $600 billion annually."
"Hofer and her coauthor built demanding global careers while raising families and caring for aging parents through dementia, Parkinson's, and end-of-life decisions, reframing caregiving as a leadership and organizational imperative."
"The intensity escalated when we moved him closer to us. That was the turning point-when caregiving shifted from something we managed at a distance to an integral part of our daily lives."
Approximately 63 million Americans provide family care, with nearly 48 million offering unpaid care to adults. The economic value of this care exceeds $600 billion annually. Caregivers often manage their responsibilities quietly, affecting their work performance and retention. Shari Hofer's book reframes caregiving as a leadership imperative rather than a private hardship. Her personal experience with her father's dementia highlights the complexities of caregiving, which became a daily responsibility when he moved closer to her family.
