Around the nation dedicated health care professionals serve those who require long-term or hospice care. They provide vital services, reassuring patients and families who care about them. 

Caregivers deliver a variety of duties from personal care to medical services with compassion and professionalism. Their days may be long and demanding, but they provide support to those who need it most. 

The celebration recognizes caregivers providing quality, compassionate care every day. 

HOW TO OBSERVE 

Take time to thank a caregiver for their dedication and care of our loved ones. There are several ways to show your appreciation: 

  • • Give them a card of thanks. 
  • • Let them know with a kind word of encouragement. 
  • • Tell their supervisor how much you appreciate the services. 
  • • Employers can provide a special appreciation luncheon.
