National Caregivers Day, observed annually on the third Friday in February, is a reminder to celebrate and show appreciation for our home health, home care and hospice caregivers nationwide. It’s the perfect day to tell caregivers how much you appreciate their selfless work helping our elderly family and loved ones who require long-term care.At Cross Country Workforce Solutions Group, we are thankful to the many caregivers on our team, but also recognize that many caregivers are unpaid, giving their own time and energy to help parents, grandparents, spouses, neighbors or friends who need their care and comfort. In fact, the National Alliance for Caregiving (NAC) and American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) recently compiled caregiver data which found that nearly <a href="https://www.caregiving.org/research/caregiving-in-the-us/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> 53 million caregivers were providing unpaid care to an adult</a> with health or functional needs in 2020, up from 43.5 million in 2015.Nation Caregivers Day was established in 2015 by the Providers Association for Home Health &amp; Hospice Agencies (PAHHHA), which represents the long-term care community to government, business leaders and the general public throughout Texas, with plans to expand nationwide.“With the number of Americans aged 65 and older expected to reach 80 million by 2040, caregivers are vital members of society and a lifeline to many families and their loved ones who need their care,” said Pamela Jung, President of Cross Country Workforce Solutions Group. “National Caregivers Day is a day for all of us to recognize the sacrifices they make and show our appreciation for them,” she added.<h2>Partner with the Nation’s Leading Provider of Non-Medical, In-Home Caregivers for the Elderly</h2>Cross Country Workforce Solutions Group is the premier provider of clinical and non-clinical staffing for FQHCs, CHCs and PACE programs, and the nation’s leading provider of non-medical, in-home care for the elderly. <a href="https://www.crosscountry.com/wsg" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Contact us today</a> to learn more.
