Most Britons ages 50+ feel like caregivers by 48, when parents turn 73, due to health or mental decline.
A study of 500 adults aged 50 and above by Consultus Care and Nursing found that most Britons begin feeling more like caregivers than children at age 48, typically when their parents reach 73.
At this stage, 54% report a role reversal, taking on responsibilities like managing finances, handling household repairs, and assisting with technology or official paperwork.
A quarter experienced this shift earlier due to declining parental health or mental wellbeing.
About 40% feel more like caregivers than children, with some canceling social plans or taking work leave to provide care.
