This report uses data to expose the financial, career, assumptions and emotional burdens of caregiving in America, by gender and age.
By LogicMark — June 3, 2026
This report provides a data-driven examination of the realities shaping caregiving and aging in America, drawing insights from two parallel national surveys of 1,500 U.S. caregivers and aging adults. The findings uncover the hidden financial and career costs of caregiving, reveal a significant gender divide in how caregiving is experienced, and challenge assumptions about the fears that most influence family decision-making. Together, the data paints a more complete picture of the emotional, practical, and economic pressures facing families as they navigate care.
The research also highlights a striking contradiction around aging in place: while 72% of older adults say remaining in their own home is very important, only 19% have communicated those wishes to their families. Additionally, the findings challenge common assumptions about technology adoption, showing that caregivers are often the earliest adopters of care technology and that older adults are more open to safety and support solutions than many expect. From concerns about becoming a burden—even among those already living in senior communities—to growing interest in tools that support independence, connection, and peace of mind, the results offer important insights into the future of caregiving and aging.
