The 53 million Americans caring for an aging parent — mostly unpaid, mostly alone, mostly women — deserve better than "good luck" from the internet. This is that better.
The average family caregiver works 34 hours a week unpaid on top of a job. That labor is worth $470 billion a year — more than every U.S. home-care agency combined. And still, when you type "caregiver burnout" into Google at 2 AM, you get corporate blog posts and ads.
MorrisElder is the opposite of that.
