A labor of love, caregiving is a role that is quietly taken on by millions of Americans every day. According to a recent RAND Report*, an estimated 53 to 105.6 million U.S. adults provide unpaid care to family and friends. And with a rapidly aging baby boomer generation and longer life expectancies, even more families will soon be called to take on this vital, deeply personal and often challenging role.
From Executive Producer Bradley Cooper, "Caregiving" shares the heartfelt stories of those who step up in extraordinary ways. From grandchildren to spouses, their experiences reveal the emotional, social and economic pressures of caregiving — and the opportunities for innovation in long-term care.
This companion storybook offers a closer look at their journeys and highlights how OneAmerica Financial® is pioneering solutions that help caregivers find strength, security and support during life’s most critical moments.

I like to say that there are only four kinds of people in the world — those who have been caregivers, those who are currently caregivers, those who will be caregivers and those who will need caregivers.
Rosalynn Carter
Former First Lady
Founder of the Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregivers
At 29, Jacquelyn, a writer and screenwriter, put her own life on hold to become the full-time caregiver for her mother and grandmother, who were both living with dementia. Moving home during the pandemic, she faced not only the daily challenges of caregiving, but also the deep isolation it can bring.
By sharing her story on social media, Jacquelyn connected with others walking the same path, offering guidance, reassurance and the comfort of knowing they weren’t alone.
As conditions like Alzheimer’s become more widespread, long-term care protection with caregiver support is more essential than ever to help close the care gap while protecting families' legacies.
