November is National Family Caregivers Month
Responsive caregiving is an act of selflessness and the outward expression of responsibility, duty, unconditional love and sacrifice.
Although there may be one designated caregiver, he or she cannot act alone! Truly, no man (or woman) is an island! It takes a community of support from family, friends, neighbors, church members, support groups and various agencies. It is imperative to seek resources and services in order to honor loved ones with the best care, as well as to preserve the health and well-being of those entrusted to provide care.
