COMMITMENT

Valuing Every Caregiver

What’s inside the mind of a caregiver? What’s behind the sacrifices they make every day? What’s behind the comforting, scheduling, socializing, transporting, medicating, monitoring, managing, navigating, toileting, dressing, feeding, hydrating, bathing, and grooming? What’s behind their resilience in facing thankless struggles, relentless frustrations, and frequent isolation as their loved ones’ diseases progress? Otsuka knows that within the mind of every caregiver, there is an immeasurable love and an unimaginable strength. To bring to light their unwavering dedication, Otsuka is dedicated to sharing their stories—to valuing the minds of caregivers everywhere.

We created these resources to highlight the financial impact of caregiving, from valuing unseen time to sharing groundbreaking research.

New research from Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health, sponsored by Otsuka, underscores the urgency of the caregiving crisis and quantifies the current value of family caregiving. In the US, 44.58 million caregivers provide $873.5 billion in unpaid labor each year, reinforcing the need for legislative and financial support.

The State Of Family Caregiving

Nearly half of America’s states are on the brink of a caregiving emergency. The latest installment of this Otsuka-sponsored caregiver research series introduces a new scorecard to assess the urgency of local caregiving needs and collects recommendations for policymakers at the federal and state level.

Family Caregiver Calculator

Family Caregiver Calculator

A compensation study by Salary.com, sponsored by Otsuka, estimates that caregivers for loved ones with Alzheimer's or other dementias would earn a six-figure salary—approximately $114,000 on average—if paid for the daily care they provide. Alongside this research, a compensation calculator helps caregivers quantify their efforts and measure the financial impact of their care.
