Ontario Caregiver Spotlight Report

Every year, the Spotlight Survey shows caregiver stress and burnout is on the rise, the financial impact of caregiving is growing, and working caregivers are struggling to balance work and care responsibilities. These continue to be predominant themes. For the first time in five years, caregivers say their workplace environments have improved. More caregivers say they feel understood by their employer and colleagues. While this is positive, there is still more to be done for the sixty-one per cent of working caregivers who still wish for more support from their employer.
