In 2023, 41.8 million people provided unpaid care for a loved one in the United States, according to a survey by A Place for Mom, a senior care referral company. Thus, one of the biggest unspoken challenges for Americans is made clear: As the Baby Boomer generation continues to age, the number of caregivers experiencing these challenges will continue to rise. Most of these caregivers are daughters or sons who live near their parents; these adult children provide, on average, 24 hours of care a week on top of their own careers and other responsibilities.
For caregivers who live with their ailing loved ones (including spouses), this number goes up to about 37 hours a week of unpaid labor. It comes as no surprise that 82% of caregivers say that their physical and mental well-being is jeopardized by their caregiving duties. 76% of family caregivers say they were not prepared to take on these responsibilities.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. — The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Las Cruces District invites Pinos Altos residents to come out and be informed of the ongoing and future herbicidal treatment actions as part of a vegetative treatment program to reduce the amount and continuity of burnable vegetation surrounding the Pinos Altos area.
