Caring for a loved one can play havoc with the caregiver’s efforts to save for retirement.
Genworth Financial Inc., Richmond, Va. (NYSE:GNW), has published figures quanitifying the damage in a summary of results from an April survey of 818 U.S. consumers 25 years of age or older.
Respondents were either recipients of long term care or had a family member that was a recipient of care for 30 days or more during the previous 12-month period.
Researchers divided caregivers into two groups – primary caregivers, or the main providers of 
hands-on care, and secondary caregivers, or others involved with care who do not provide day-to-day support.
