The COVID-19 pandemic has altered access to health care; it remains unclear how patients with chronic illness and disability and their family caregivers are adapting to these changes. In this study, we examined changes in family caregiver roles helping care recipients with chronic illness and disability navigate health care needs during the COVID-19 pandemic.
