A new survey by the Survival Coalition of Wisconsin highlights the immense unpaid workload carried by family caregivers across the state. More than 525 respondents from across Wisconsin shared their experiences this summer, painting a stark picture of the challenges faced by families who provide essential caregiving to supplement paid care and fill in gaps when there is no one to hire or workers do not show up.

Almost all survey respondents are participants or are caring for people who are in Medicaid home and community based long term care programs, which provide personal care and home health staffing to make sure people can stay in communities and out of expensive Medicaid-funded nursing homes and other institutional settings.
