Caregiving

Listeners from across Louisiana shared their personal stories about caring for loved ones, highlighting the challenges they’ve faced and lessons they’ve learned.

Today we hear from Marirose Bernard, a registered nurse with nearly 50 years of experience who found that the role of caregiver was just as difficult as anything she encountered in her profession.

Caregiving, a new PBS documentary premiering Tuesday, June 24, explores America’s caregiving crisis and the emotional and financial toll it takes on caregivers as the need for care grows and resources lag behind.
