Background: Alzheimer’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease Related Dementias (AD/ADRD) affect all aspects of life and relationships for those involved. Female family caregivers constitute an informal (unpaid) and critical workforce who provide 83% of the care for persons living with AD/ADRD in the community settings (Alzheimer’s Association, 2021). In 2020, U.S. informal caregivers provided an additional 400 million hours of unpaid care valued at $244 billion (18.6 billion hours) in comparison with 2017 (Alzheimer’s Association, 2021).
