In 2013, nearly 43.5 million Americans provided 37 billion hours of uncompensated care to their loved ones.

To enhance family caregivers’ sense of preparedness, a tailored multicomponent interdisciplinary caregiver intervention was implemented in an inpatient rehabilitation unit of an urban community hospital in the Midwest.
