How COVID-19 has complicated life for family caregivers

Season 2020 Episode 159 | 10m 20s

The number of Americans providing unpaid care for loved ones has been rising in recent years. The coronavirus pandemic and the associated shutdowns have made these difficult roles that much harder, increasing isolation and limiting resources. We hear stories from some of these caregivers, and Judy Woodruff talks to C. Grace Whiting, president and CEO of the National Alliance for Caregiving.
