Did you know that more than 53 million Americans provide care for someone? Family care partners are a backbone in our communities, and provide an estimated $600 billion, yes billion!, dollars worth of services to those they care for annually…many times while balancing jobs and raising families*.
The month of November is recognized as National Family Caregiver Month. While care partners are so important, and we feel they really need to be recognized and celebrated each day, next month is a time to really build awareness and appreciation around everything you do. The 2024 national theme through Caregiver Action Network is “I Care…”
You care. At the root of why you help to support someone, whether as a family care partner or even as a professional, is because you care. So, thank you. We need more people like you.
This care giving journey you are walking on can be difficult to navigate at times, especially if dementia, or another progressive diagnosis, is playing a role. We see you, and we are here to help you on your path. We have a lot of special events and conferences coming up that we hope you will be able to attend to add some more tools to your toolbelt. As always, we are a phone call, text, or email away! Contact us for a free 30-minute consultation. Let’s dive in to this journey together.
