In honor of Labor Day I’d like to salute two groups of people:
PROfessional Caregivers; whose job is helping families know what a hard day’s work feels like. They also know the satisfaction that comes from making a real difference in the lives of those they assist.
PERsonal/Family Caregivers; the tireless men and women who sacrifice to make sure their aging loved ones are cared for, often as they’re caring for their own children, their spouses and—when time allows—themselves.
