  • AARP 

AARP announced the launch of an effort to raise awareness of the daily challenges faced by many U.S. Latino family caregivers, anchored by the release of a Spanish-language documentary, titled Cada Paso del Camino (Every Step of the Way). The film showcases the powerful and emotional stories of four Latino family caregivers, including popular Spanish-language television personality and outspoken caregiver, Marco Antonio Regil.  Ultimately, the documentary aims to start a conversation among Latinos on how to best plan for and manage the family caregiver role. As part of this effort, AARP is also highlighting the resources that are available to Latinos to help them as they take on the demands of this vital role. In particular, the documentary invites viewers to the refreshed AARP Family Caregiving website, aarp.org/cuidar or aarp.org/caregiving in English. There, visitors can gain access to helpful information, learn about local services, join an online community of family caregivers and connect with others who understand caregiving challenges. Latinos make up 21 percent of the estimated 40 million family caregivers in the U.S. providing unpaid care to their parents, spouses, partners and other adult loved ones.
