The cost of caregiving is immense—agencies charge as much as $35 an hour, leaving many families with no choice but to provide care for a loved one themselves. Our Volunteer Caregiver Respite (VCR) program is designed to give those caregivers a break so they can run errands, take a nap, or see their own doctor. November is National Family Caregivers Month, so if you know a family caregiver, remember to thank them. And if you *are* a family caregiver—we see you, and we know you're the real superheroes! Happy Family Caregivers Month!
