There is no clear information for dementia-specific care, however, older people have been estimated to receive 4.56 hours of unpaid care per day from their primary caregiver. Primary caregivers are typically the spouse or the biological child of the older person. Older people living in bigger households receive more care time and assistance (Hidayati, 2014).
