The Unsung Heroes of Caregiving: Recognizing the Plight of Qualified Caregivers As we continue to acknowledge and support family caregivers, I want to shed light on a critical aspect often overlooked - the struggles of passionate, experienced, and qualified caregivers like myself, eager to make a difference but facing neglect and lack of opportunities. Despite possessing the necessary skills and dedication, many of us remain unnoticed, our voices unheard, and our potential untapped. It's disheartening to see our enthusiasm and expertise go unrecognized, leaving us wondering if our contributions will ever be valued. If we continue to ignore the pleas of qualified caregivers, who will speak for us? Who will acknowledge our worth and provide us with the platform we deserve? Let's work together to create opportunities for skilled caregivers to shine, bringing positive change to the lives of those who need it most. #CaregiverRecognition #QualifiedCaregiversMatter #CaregivingExcellence #SupportCaregivers #HealthcareOpportunities #CaregiverAdvocacy #CaregivingCommunity

Proud to see Morning Light Strategy noted as the consumer research partner in A Place for Mom's 2024 State of Caregiving Report, which sheds light on the caregiving challenges faced by millions of families across the US. As we look at the realities caregivers face every day, it's clear that the need for support and actionable resources has never been more urgent - and providing those starts first with research and insights into the unmet needs of today's caregivers. With over 41 million unpaid caregivers supporting #OlderAdults, the conversation around caregiving impacts all of us. I'm grateful to have partnered with A Place for Mom to contribute insights to this critical topic and help bring more attention to the experiences and needs of family caregivers. Take a look at the findings in the press release, and let's keep this conversation going. What do you believe is the most pressing need for family caregivers today? #2024StateofCaregivingReport #FamilyCaregivers #BecauseWeCare #NationalFamilyCaregiversMonth #thefutureisold #CaregivingCrisis #agingpopulation #seniorliving #consumerresearch #consumerinsights #caregiverinsights

As a family caregiver myself, I find this research to be timely and needed. Burnout among family caregivers is real, and balancing all the demands is challenging. My present passion is to support family care givers in navigating the challenges of the sandwich generation specifically - the tension and drama of parenthood and eldercare issues. Selfacare is a necessity, not a luxury. We must put our own oxygen masks on first. #selfcare #sandwichgeneration #resilience #mentalhealth #balancingact

We measure the ability of a care recipient to fend for themselves by assessing their ability to do basic tasks defined within Activities of Daily Living (ADL). Where the care recipient is unable to function according to assessment requirements, then someone else is going to be needed to make up the difference in functionality. Family caregivers perform to fill this functional gap. They make up the difference between what a care recipient can do, and where they need help. We need to measure the capacity and capability for a family caregiver to fill the functional gap on behalf of their care recipient. I would call this a functional assessment of Activities of Daily Caregiving, to identify when and how a family caregiving household needs resource flows to make up the difference. https://lnkd.in/g8NpVpgj

Did you know 1 in 4 caregivers spend over 40 hours a week caring for a loved one? And many of them are unpaid and juggling another job. Caregiving demands time, patience, and compassion—so when time can be saved, it’s a game changer. Peelaways isn’t just about sheets; it’s about giving caregivers back precious moments to focus on what truly matters: care. In caregiving, time is everything, and sometimes, convenience isn't just helpful, it's the ultimate act of compassion. #CaregivingSimplified #Peelaways #TimeForWhatMatters #CareThatCounts #MakingCareEasier"

The quiet work of over 50 million in this country goes unrecognized. The struggles, challenges, loneliness and isolation of those caring for an adult family member is not a popular topic of conversation. One in four are caring for someone. Start the conversation. #caregiver, #caregiversupport #caregivereducation #coaching #leadership

As we kick off National Family Caregivers Month, it’s essential to recognize that caregiving isn’t just a personal commitment; it has a direct impact on our workforce and business outcomes. Family caregivers are often juggling work, family, and caregiving responsibilities, which can lead to high stress and burnout if not adequately supported. At Homethrive, we believe in honoring the dedication of caregivers by not only celebrating them but also by providing practical resources that help them balance these demands. Supporting caregivers is not only the right thing to do—it’s key to fostering productivity and retention, as employees who feel supported are more likely to remain engaged and committed. This month, let’s champion the resources and empathy that make a real difference. 💙 #NationalFamilyCaregiversMonth
