November is Family Caregivers Month
Families are often the primary source of support for older adults and people with disabilities. In fact, today in America, more than 53 million family caregivers provide unpaid care1. That’s an economic value totaling more than $470 billion.2
That’s why every November we celebrate National Family Caregivers Month. While family caregivers should be celebrated every day, this is a time to recognize and honor caregivers nationally, raise awareness around caregiving issues, educate communities, and work to increase support for our nation’s caregivers.
NCOA joins Caregiver Action Network, The National Alliance for Caregiving, and Share The Care in celebrating family caregivers this November, which first began in 1994.
