Families are often the primary source of support for older adults and people with disabilities. In fact, today in America, more than 53 million family caregivers provide unpaid care. That’s an economic value totaling more than $470 billion.
That’s why every November we celebrate National Family Caregivers Month. While family caregivers should be celebrated every day, this is a time to recognize and honor caregivers nationally, raise awareness around caregiving issues, educate communities, and work to increase support for our nation’s caregivers.
November is a time to show support and to honor our nation’s vital caregivers during National Family Caregivers Month. Join us in acknowledging and honoring families who are often caregiving “around the clock”. That means around-the-clock dedication, organization, responsibility, scheduling, and hands-on care.
Caregiving happens. And everyone’s experience with caregiving is unique, whether you’re the one caring for a loved one, or you’re on the receiving end.
Caregiving also means #CaregivingAroundtheClock, working tirelessly to keep older loved ones in their homes for as long as possible and missed sleep because of hands-on care.
