November is National Family Caregiver Month – and it’s important that we take time to appreciate the people who put their loved ones in front of themselves.
Every year, more and more American family members are caring for a loved one with a chronic disability or condition that comes with old age. Two out of every five adults are family caregivers; there are more than 90 million family caregivers in the U.S. today.
Often, family members give up everything to take care of their loved ones who need constant care. Being a caregiver is no easy task; nearly half of family caregivers have to perform serious medical or nursing tasks that require complex work and time.
We should always be grateful for those who sacrifice for loved ones. This month especially, take the time to thank a caregiver.
