Recognizing the Unsung Heroes: National Caregivers Day and the Impact of Direct Care Workers
A close up picture of

Today marks National Caregivers Day, dedicated to expressing gratitude to individuals in the fields of home health, home care, and hospice, including family caregivers. These selfless individuals provide personal care and physical and emotional support to those in need.

Caregivers play a vital role in the broader healthcare ecosystem, especially with an aging population that desires to age in place. According to a recent PHI study, the demand for home care is on the rise, and as many as 7.4 million new care workers will be needed by 2029. The contribution of caregivers to the broader care continuum is truly invaluable.

Caregivers Are Motivated by Purpose-Driven Work

At Affirmation, our mission is to promote better living and improve independence, health, and well-being by providing compassionate, dependable, high-quality solutions for our community.

On National Caregivers Day, we extend our sincere gratitude to our dedicated and compassionate caregivers who are serving the greater Richmond, VA area. Caregiving is inherently purpose-driven work, with many caregivers staying in the profession due to their deep commitment to helping others.

Join us in expressing gratitude to the caregivers in your life by using the hashtags #thankacaregiver and #nationalcaregiversday on social media.

From all of us at Affirmation: Thank you, caregivers, for all you do—today and every day.
