There are many ways to contribute to and acknowledge that special caregiver in your life, and we encourage you to branch out this month to increase awareness of this much valued career.
- Educate yourself about Care Management and Caregiving by requesting books and materials on the topic at your local library.
- Pass out small gifts or tiny treats to volunteers and caregivers at a local assisted or independent living retirement communities.
- Talk about Care Management with your neighbors and friends who may be struggling in the sandwich generation and don't know where to find help.
As you go about your days in November, stop and notice all the caregivers that surround you. These amazing people are sitting with an elderly person at a restaurant, helping them with their meal. They are reaching for an item on a high shelf at the grocery store for a person in a wheelchair. Every day, they are giving of themselves physically, emotionally, and spiritually, all to assist another person to live with dignity and purpose. To the professional caregivers, we salute you. Happy National Home Care Aide week!
