More Than 6 Million Californians Are Caregivers, State Aging Department Notes in National Family Caregivers Month
The California Department of Aging (CDA) said on November 5 that more than 6 million Californians care for family members, friends, or neighbors, but many do not think of themselves as caregivers, even when they regularly help with meals, medications, transportation, or other daily needs.
The department noted that many caregivers are not aware that free or low-cost caregiver support is available. November is National Family Caregivers Month, and CDA is raising awareness of the many ways caregiving shows up in everyday life and helping Californians connect with available support and resources.
CDA said it can help with information, resources, or interviews for caregiving stories during the month.
