November is National Family Caregiver Month
Rosalynn Carter said, “There are only four kinds of people in the world – those who have been caregivers, those who are currently caregivers, those who will be caregivers, and those who will need caregivers”. America's family caregivers are family, friends, partners, and neighbors. Each caregiver’s journey is unique, but universally, they could use a word of support. If you know of someone caring for a loved one, please take a moment to acknowledge them for all they do.
