We’d like to say a heartfelt THANK YOU to all of you who provide care for members of your family.

Day in and day out, more than 65 million family caregivers in this country fulfill a vital role on the care team. No one else is in a better position to ensure continuity of care. Family caregivers are the most familiar with their care recipients’ medicine regimen; they are the most knowledgeable about the treatment regimen; and they understand best the dietary and exercise regimen.

Every president since 1997 – Democrat and Republican alike – has issued an annual proclamation appreciating family caregivers during National Family Caregivers Month.
