II About Family Caregiver AllianceFamily Caregiver Alliance (FCA) was founded in 1977 to focus attention on and develop supports for family caregivers of adults with chronic care impairments and in particular, those adults with cognitive impairments such as Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, stroke, Parkinson's disease, and traumatic head injury. FCA's mission is to improve the quality of life for family caregivers through services, education, research and public policy.FCA is recognized as a pioneer for work in developing and delivering high quality caregiver support services and interventions, consumer information, training and capacity building, service and policy research and policy development and advocacy at the state and federal levels. In 2001, FCA established the National Center on Caregiving (NCC). The mission of the NCC is to advance the development of high-quality, costeffective policies and programs for caregivers in every state in the country. It serves as a central resource on caregiving and long-term care issues for policy makers, service providers, media and family caregivers throughout the country. About Benjamin Rose Institute on AgingBenjamin Rose Institute on Aging, established in 1908, is a non-profit organization with the mission to advance the health, independence, and dignity of older adults.The Margaret Blenkner Research Institute (MBRI) of Benjamin Rose is one of the oldest nonacademic research centers in the United States. Founded in 1961, the MBRI is internationally recognized for its applied gerontological research focusing on developing and evaluating evidence-based services and model interventions for older adults and their family members. MBRI staff publish widely and many of these articles and books have helped shape the growing body of knowledge in gerontology.

“…Informal caregivers may play an important role in supporting diabetic patients' efforts to follow self-management plans, identify early warning signs of acute illness, absorb the volumes of self-care education that patients need to stay well, and use formal health systems most effectively (71)(72)(73). However, growing numbers of older patients live far away from adult children and other social network members (74,75).…”

“…Many worried about their relatives while they were at work (59 per cent); almost a third complained that their caregiving responsibilities meant having to work fewer hours (29 per cent), having less energy for work (29 per cent) or being interrupted repeatedly during working hours (28 per cent). For some, caregving had meant taking periods of unpaid leave (22 per cent), settling for a less responsible job (16 per cent), refusing promotion (13 per cent) and working from home (14 per cent).…”

Abstract:Research on family caregiving has been based largely on small samples, often drawn from support organisations or services, and has tended to focus on particular disability groups. Our study was population-based and included all ages and disabilities. As the first stage in a longitudinal research and health promotion program for informal caregivers, a statewide random survey of over 26 000 households was conducted by telephone: 78 per cent of self-identified carers ( N = 976) agreed to participate in a one-hour interview. This paper presents a sociodemographic profile of Australian caregivers. Four types of relationship between carers and care recipients (adult offspring, spouses, parents and other relatives and friends) provide the framework for results. Group differences were observed on most characteristics: for example, age, living arrangements, work status and duration of care. Care recipient characteristics, including difficult behaviours and need for assistance, are also reported, as well as use of and need for community services. What the findings reflected most was the heterogeneity of both caregivers and care recipients and the diversity of caregiving roles and circumstances.
