“Navigating the Journey: Adjusting the Sails in Dementia Caregiving” was the theme of the 38th Annual Caregiver’s Conference, presented by the Northern Virginia Dementia Care Consortium.
November is National Family Caregivers Month, a time dedicated to recognizing and honoring the selfless work of caregivers across the country. This month highlights the challenges faced by family caregivers, celebrates their dedication, and raises awareness about the support they need. Whether caring for an aging parent, a child with special needs, or a loved one with a chronic illness, caregivers play a crucial role in providing comfort and stability.
