Report

This report from AARP and The John A. Hartford Foundation builds on the landmark Home Alone study, which was the first national look at how family caregivers are managing medical/nursing tasks in the home setting. Employing an oversampling of multicultural groups, Home Alone Revisited takes a closer look at specific difficult tasks, such as managing incontinence, pain, and special diets. It also offers greater attention to resources and outcomes as well as multicultural, gender, and generational experiences.
