National Family Caregivers Month (November)
Can’t forget about caregivers! The reality of aging is that sometimes one elderly individual is a caregiver for another elderly individual. Led in large part by the Caregiver Action Network (CAN), this month of observance is a time for recognizing caregivers all over the country.
Caregivers face unique challenges, issues, and gaps in community support. During November, you can learn more about how to enrich the lives of the elderly by supporting their caregivers.
Family provides the primary source of caregiving for seniors. having an open discussion among family about the challenges and celebrations involved in caregiving can be a crucial part of growing closer and supporting the best life for your aging loved one.
