(My card, above, reflects my four caregiving experiences — my grandmother, aunt and parents.)
Since we launched our Non-Reimbursed Family Caregiver Savings Calculator two weeks ago, 350* family caregivers from around the world have calculated their value.
We’ve been listening. And we added two new categories based on what we’ve learned.
Assessing — family caregivers are constantly watching for changes, evaluating risks, and gauging their own limits. We named it.
Being — present, courageous, honest, a leader, a comfort. No professional rate has ever been assigned to who you are in this experience. Now it has one.
If you’ve already calculated your value, we’d love for you to calculate again. You may find yourself in domains you didn’t see before. When you return to the calculator, be sure to indicate you calculated your numbers before. We want this to be an ongoing resource for you so feel free to crunch your numbers as your experience intensifies and changes. You’ll have an ongoing record of the value you deliver.
What’s your value? I’d love to know. Share your number, below, and post your card on our community, CaringOurWay.com, with our hashtag: #mycarevalue.
*Our numbers grow daily; we’re at 350 as of Noon CT on May 23, 2026.
