Summary
Families caring for elderly or disabled relatives face an acute shortage of reliable, professional, and respectful caregivers. Existing caregivers may be unprofessional, emotionally draining, or even disrespectful, yet families have no alternatives due to limited availability. This leads to immense stress, compromised care quality, and feelings of being trapped. The problem is exacerbated by low wages and high demand, leaving vulnerable individuals at risk of neglect or abuse.
