November is National Family Caregiver Month. Let’s take time to celebrate the efforts and selfless contribution of family caregivers in our families, neighborhood, and community. While COVID-19 pandemic put a stop to our daily activities, family caregivers remained dedicated to their loved ones, families and friends offering around the clock assistance and help needed. Although with no doubt everyone agrees that family caregivers are the most compassionate, kind, selfless and caring individuals, they need to be taken care of too. Research data continues to show large numbers of caregivers feeling isolated, anxious and even depressed. This alarming statistic is a good reminder to express appreciation to our hidden community heroes and letting them know that resources are available to them in the City of Fremont, Human Services Department. The City of Fremont’s Family Caregiver Support Program provides emotional support and education to caregivers of elderly loved ones. Services offered are individual counseling in relation to caring for elderly loved ones, support groups and education in person or on line. If you are a family caregiver or know of a family caregiver in the community, please contact the Senior Information Line at 510.574.2041 to get connected with the right services.
