“During National Family Caregivers Month, we recognize the love and sacrifice of more than 50 million Americans providing crucial care and medical assistance to parents, children, siblings, and other loved ones, ensuring their health and dignity.”
Welcome to At Home Senior Care
November is National Family Caregivers Month
November is laden with grateful thoughts as Thanksgiving serves as a reminder that there is always something to be thankful for. Some dispatches come to mind quickly: our family and loved ones, tasty meals, autumn skies, loyal pets, to name a few, but there's another category that deserves our attention yet often gets unintentionally overlooked when listing blessings in one's life. This is the family caregiver.
In Truth, National Caregivers Day Is Every Day!
