The Utah Department of Health and Human Services has launched caregiving.utah.gov to connect the state's estimated 700,000 family caregivers with services and community support. The site was introduced in November as part of Family Caregivers Month.
Why it matters
Nearly 30% of Utah adults provide unpaid care for family members, friends or neighbors, and finding help previously meant searching across dozens of organizations. Consolidating those resources in one location aims to make assistance easier for caregivers statewide to locate.
Utah's estimated 700,000 family caregivers now have a single state website for support, with nearly 30% of adults in the state providing unpaid care. The figures reflect the scale of caregiving in Utah, though usage data for the new site has not been reported.

Culture Shift
The launch coincides with Family Caregivers Month, a November observance that spotlights unpaid family care as a growing share of adult responsibilities. Placing caregiving resources in a single state portal reflects a move toward centralized, public-facing support for households managing this work.
