One thousand people a day are turning 65 in California and Caregivers are needed more than ever. Not only are Americans growing older it is important that they are able to grow older in their own home, rather than an institution.
Caregivers don’t always realize they are Caregivers; they just know their family member needs their help and many will do what it takes to care for them. “Recognizing Family Caregivers is important,” said Cheryl Brown, a member of California Commission on Aging, and Chair of the Social Action Committee at St. Paul AME.
