Katie’s Heartfelt Message about the Hidden Costs of Caregiving
What happens when Caregiving expenses go beyond what insurance covers? Katie experienced this firsthand while caring for her mother with Alzheimer’s.
✨ About one in six older adults with Medicare reported problems with medical bills and debt, often due to out-of-pocket expenses for prescriptions, specialist visits, and hospital stays.
As her mom’s condition progressed, Katie Kristofic had to replace her wardrobe multiple times—first for weight changes and later for ease of dressing as her mom’s motor skills declined. Katie found creative solutions, like working with local seamstresses to adapt existing clothing, but the costs still added up quickly.
📣 Tell me in the COMMENTS: Should insurance companies do more to cover care-related costs, like clothing modifications or home adjustments?

In honor of National Family Caregivers Month this November, I’m launching a social media campaign to raise awareness about the financial impact of caregiving. Over the coming weeks, I’ll be sharing heartfelt stories from caregivers like me, who have faced similar challenges and discovered the importance of seeking support.
Together, we can shine a light on this often-overlooked issue and remind caregivers everywhere they’re not alone.
Thank you!
