Celebrating Caregivers Day, Every Day
National Caregivers Day is Friday, February 17 this year and continues to be celebrated on the third Friday in February every year. We love taking this day to honor the people who selflessly provide physical, emotional support, and personal care to those who need it most.
We shout to honor those paid and non-paid caregivers assisting with medical and personal care in home care, assisted living, the hospital, long term care and any place one provides support to another. Caregiving days can be filled with peace as well as tough, hard times.
We are here to share ideas on how to thank a caregiver today and any day!
- A handwritten note of appreciation
- Baked goods
- Hand lotion/cream
- Donation in a caregiver’s name to a cause they are passionate about
- Aromatherapy or essential oils
- Flowers or herbs picked from your own garden
The toll of physically and emotionally tending to another adult’s needs can lead to caregiver burnout, chronic stress, or difficulty sleeping. A moment of gratitude goes a long way to raise the spirits of another human.
Don’t go through the healthcare journey alone. We do better when we work together. Stay connected to family, friends, co-workers and loved ones.

Falls in the senior community are far too common, costly, and preventable. Senior care fall strategies shouldn’t be reactive - they should be proactive. Just imagine if you could monitor, track, and address patient needs BEFORE a fall happens. This type of fall prevention initiative is available with Source of Life Technologies - Mat of Life - your modern fall prevention solution.
