Celebrating National Family Caregiver Month

November is a time to celebrate the many caregivers providing care for older adults and individuals with disabilities in the community. It is estimated that around 44 million Americans provide 37 billion hours of unpaid care for adult family members and friends. Let's all take the time this month to thank a caregiver we know. If you are a caregiver take time this month to reward yourself for all of your hard work!

Be sure to check out our helpful resource page Helping an Older Adult: A Caregiver's Journey. If you are taking care of anyone in your life be sure to take the caregiver stress assessment. You can also visit this page to learn about the many useful resources for caregivers and older adults in the area.
