Who Are the Caregivers of Today? Today's caregivers are not alone, and represent a very large, diverse group. Although there are many nurses and professional caregivers that serve in this role, family members make up about 80 to 90 percent of the caregivers of the elderly. About 75 percent of the caregivers are women. The majority of these are mostly daughters who are caring for an aging parent. In many cases an elderly spouse starts out as the primary caregiver, but eventually passes the baton on to their adult daughters and sons when they become overwhelmed or their own health begins to suffer.
