Maria Bartiromo Became Her Mother’s Caregiver
In 2022, Maria Bartiromo publicly shared that she moved her 90‑year-old mother out of an assisted‑living facility and into her own home.
She said painful memory loss and heavy medication prompted the move.

Bartiromo explained she wanted to oversee her mother’s care personally — manage medications, improve quality of life, and restore dignity.

Why She Made the Change
She said the nursing‑facility care no longer felt right. Her mother seemed increasingly distant and heavily sedated.
Maria recalled her mother’s earlier wish: when the time came, she preferred living with family rather than in a facility.
At that moment, Bartiromo decided she could no longer ignore her promise

The Adjustment: From Anchor to Caregiver
At first, Maria attempted full-time caregiving. She helped with basic needs — bathing, dressing, daily tasks — while continuing to anchor her television programs.
Soon, she realized she couldn’t manage alone. So she hired home‑health professionals to assist part-time.

She also adjusted her work routine. Her employer allowed a hybrid schedule partly broadcast from home — helping her balance caregiving and career.
