PA CareKit Reaches Thousands of Pennsylvanians with Support and Resources for Unpaid Caregivers 

Since the Department launched the PA CareKit in May 2025, more than 315,000 people have taken advantage of the tailored services on the Department’s website. Following the launch, nearly 10,000 Pennsylvanians have visited the PA CareKit Caregiver Quiz, a tool that helps them understand their needs and receive tailored support and resources based on their caregiving situation.  
The PA CareKit – an innovative resource to support the Commonwealth’s nearly 2.4 million unpaid caregivers – provides training, connection to respite services, and personalized tools to help caregivers like spouses, adult children, and grandparents raising grandchildren address their unique situations.
