Celebrating Family Caregivers: A Tribute to Our Unsung Heroes Every November, National Family Caregivers Month shines a light on the incredible individuals who give so much of themselves to ensure their loved ones are cared for with dignity. But this conversation deserves to continue beyond one month. As the holiday season brings family together, let’s take time to recognize and support these unsung heroes who often carry heavy burdens in silence. Did you know? - There are 53 million family caregivers in the U.S., providing over $450 billion worth of unpaid care annually. - 67% of caregivers delay their own medical care, prioritizing their loved ones. - Caregivers often experience physical and emotional strain, making community support vital. This holiday season, let’s do more than express gratitude—let’s offer tangible help. - Run errands or help with household tasks. - Provide companionship for their loved one to give them a break. - Be a listening ear to offer emotional support. In my latest article for Jewish News, I delve into the challenges caregivers face and how we can better support them. Together, we can ensure they feel seen, appreciated, and empowered.

Being a family caregiver is no small task. While we love to focus on our patients, caregiving is a two-way relationship between the caregiver and the person receiving care. Did you know that 66% of caregivers are caring for a senior with a health problem or disability? Having shared the shoes of millions across the world as a family caregiver, I will say that it can be an extremely emotionally fulfilling experience. It can also be very challenging. Approximately 67% of family caregivers have difficulty balancing their jobs with caregiving duties. Not to mention, caregiver burnout is real! While we celebrate the efforts of family caregivers, it is important for us to spread awareness on the issues that family caregivers may face and educate our community on ways that these amazing humans may receive our support! Whether it’s the VA, Alzheimer’s Association, AARP, or even Facebook; there are resources and support groups for our family caregivers in the community. What are some ways that we can increase support for family caregivers?
