November is National Family Caregivers Month, a time to recognize and celebrate the millions of Americans who selflessly care for family members or friends facing health challenges.
In the U.S., an estimated 43.5 million people are unpaid family caregivers, supporting about 36.5 million households. These caregivers provide essential assistance, from helping with daily activities and administering medications to coordinating medical care and offering emotional support.
For many, caregiving is a partnership that brings rewards and significant challenges, often requiring shifts in responsibility as a loved one’s needs change.
