One-in-5 employees age 45-74 say they expect to take time off of work to care for a spouse, a parent or relative in the next five years, AARP officials say.
An AARP report, “Keeping Up with the Times: Supporting Family Caregivers with Workplace Leave Policies,” also said 1-in-4 retirees said they left the workforce earlier than planned to care for an ill spouse or other family member.
“The aging of the population, changing workforce demographics and increasing demands on family caregivers are colliding at the expense of working caregivers,” Lynn Feinberg, senior strategic policy adviser with the AARP Public Policy Institute and author of the report, said in a statement.

My grandfather retired early to take care of my grandmother. She now lives with me so I have been looking up elder care in New Jersey for her. I just don’t think that I am the right person to care for her, she needs a little more than I can give. I am not going to force her but hopefully she will be alright with this idea.
