1-2 pm "Special." Capitol Public Radio produced "The View from Here: Who Cares?" Personal stories of family care-giving bring listeners into the lives of families who are caring for loved ones at home. There's no doubt, the need for care-giving is increasing as the U.S. population ages. In California, there are roughly six million people who are tending to chronically ill or disabled loved ones. How do caregivers cope with this heart-breaking and back-breaking work? How do they manage the financial, emotional and physical demands?
"Who Cares?" tells the stories of a retired husband caring for his wife who has dementia, a woman who quit work and is now paid to care for her sister and father at home, and a working couple who are caring for their son with cerebral palsy. The stories are honest, often heart-wrenching and show the struggles and joys of this effort.
