THOUSAND OAKS — Senior Concerns will host its annual Family Caregivers Recognition Day at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, May 6 at Los Robles Greens (299 S Moorpark Road, Thousand Oaks.
This year’s theme, “Invigorating Your Caregiver Power,” will include empowering presentations by experts in the community. Attendees will enjoy a complimentary lunch and have the opportunity to share experiences with fellow caregivers.
“Caregivers devote themselves to the well-being of their loved ones, often at the expense of their own health and happiness,” says Martha Shapiro, director of programs at Senior Concerns.
“This event provides them with support, recognition, and tools to help them continue their important work while prioritizing their own well-being.”
Across the United States, approximately 18 million unpaid family caregivers provide care for an older adult. Recognizing their invaluable contributions, Senior Concerns’ Caregiver Recognition Day aims to celebrate and uplift family caregivers while offering them a moment to recharge and renew their spirit.
“This event is not just about recognition – it’s about revitalization,” says Shapiro. “We want caregivers to leave feeling appreciated, supported, and empowered.”
Priority registration is given to Senior Concerns family caregivers; however, a limited number of spaces remain available at no cost to all family caregivers caring for an older adult in the community.
