Across the Tampa Bay region, there are more than 40,000 children living with non-parent relatives, and in Pinellas County, more than 6,000 grandparents are the primary caregiver for their grandchildren. CHN’s Larry Cooper, Vice President of Innovation, joined Aging on the Suncoast to discuss senior relative caregivers and the kinship support services available for these unique families.
