Impact of the COVID‐19 Pandemic on Dementia Caregivers in the South US

Compared to their non‐caregiving peers, caregivers of persons with dementia (PWD) endure higher psychological distress, social isolation and increased morbidity and disability. Stress and isolation experienced by caregivers during the COVID‐19 pandemic have added to caregiver burden and worsened health. The objective of this study was to obtain a greater understanding of the health and needs of informal caregivers of PWD during the COVID‐19 pandemic.
