Healthline + UnitedHealthcare presents “Taking Care,” a three-episode video series profiling adults who’ve stepped into an unexpected role caring for a loved one who is living with limitations related to aging or a chronic condition.

Through them, we witness the ups and downs, the surprises, and how swapping roles as a caregiver for their loved ones actually brings these people closer together.
