With more than three decades of experience, RCI is pleased to announce the release of key insights regarding family caregivers, designed to enhance understanding within our community. Grounded in the belief that informed understanding is the catalyst for effective action, we have compiled our rigorous research and data-driven findings in a series of impact papers. These papers provide distinct perspectives on the realities of caregiving and connect evidence with actionable recommendations for progress.
The Power of Evidence
Over 20 years of data confirm that caregivers frequently face isolation, financial strain, and mental health challenges This Impact paper explores RCI’s data-driven approach and its impact on improving the lives of caregivers.
Rural Caregivers
According to RCI Program Data (2024), 17.6% of caregivers served by RCI live in rural areas. In this Impact Paper, explore the measurable results from RCI’s work demonstrate how our programs are helping us see, hear and support rural family caregivers.
Understanding Inclusion with Data
Our data shows that race, ethnicity, gender, and age influence how care is experienced — and reveal disparities that require context-specific support. Examine how cultural identity shapes caregiving experiences and promotes more equitable support systems.
Youth Caregivers
More than 5.4 million youth in the U.S. are caregivers (Caregiving in the U.S. 2020 – AARP & National Alliance for Caregiving). Uncover the experiences and needs of young people who are also caregivers, a often an unseen population.
