Family-centered care (FCC) involves partnering with patients and family/caregivers ("caregivers"), engaging them in decisions, and providing support. FCC may be measured across 3 dimensions: respect, collaboration, and support and needs likely vary by caregiver age. The objective was to examine and compare caregiver perceptions of FCC by age.
