Caregivers Month honors those who care for older persons The month of November was recently proclaimed by Gov. Eliot Spitzer as “Family Caregivers Month” in New York state. In a proclamation presented to Michael J. Burgess, director of the New York State Office for the Aging, on behalf of all caregivers in the state, the governor called on New Yorkers to recognize the significant contributions made by caregivers throughout the year as they provide care and assistance to those who need help to remain in their homes and communities of choice. |
