November is laden with grateful thoughts since 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 consideration of that, November is celebrated as National Family Caregivers Month so that those caring for an older (or younger) family member get the recognition they deserve for the loving, supportive work they do every day.
At Home Senior Care wishes to take a moment this month to celebrate our community members caring for a senior loved one within their family. Thank you! We know that there are rewards and challenges in the role you hold and that much time and energy go into the process of caring for a senior loved one—Bravo to you and the compassionate work you are doing for your family.
The "Caregiving in the U.S. 2020" report released by The National Alliance for Caregiving (NAC) and AARP shows "an increase in the number of family caregivers in the United States of 9.5 million from 2015 to 2020. Family caregivers now encompass more than one in five Americans." It also reflects an increase in the number of caregivers providing "unpaid care to an adult with health or functional needs." Do you fit into this category?
