One in 5 Wisconsinites is a family caregiver, and more than 80% of all care provided in the U.S. is by families. Sixty percent of people with disabilities live with a family member nationwide, and 25% of those family caregivers are over the age of 60. Governor Tony Evers has issued a proclamation recognizing Wisconsin\u2019s caregivers as part of November\u2019s National Family Caregiver Month. BPDD talked with family caregivers from around the state and is putting together videos highlighting what family caregivers are experiencing, especially in light of the overall direct care shortage nationwide. Watch the 3-minute trailer below. BPDD will feature the caregiver videos on social media later this month.<\/p>\n
