Family caregivers often experience significant financial burdens while also facing the challenges of managing the financial affairs of their loved ones. To help address these issues, ACL intends to award one cooperative agreement to undertake activities to improve the financial literacy and preparedness of family caregivers in two key areas: 1) for family caregivers to ensure their own financial well-being, and 2) to better equip them to undertake “financial caregiving” tasks on behalf of a care recipient. Objectives for this project include advancing the understanding of the need for and the available interventions to improve the financial literacy of family caregivers; develop and test new interventions to improve/strengthen financial literacy among family caregivers; and, broadly disseminate project findings, new interventions, and best practices that emerge from the project.
