NATIONAL CAREGIVERS DAY THIRD FRIDAY IN FEBRUARY NATIONAL CAREGIVERS DAY THIRD FRIDAY IN FEBRUARY NATIONAL CAREGIVERS DAY National Caregivers Day on the third Friday in February honors the health care professionals across the country providing long-term and hospice care.... Around the nation, dedicated health care professionals serve those who require long-term or hospice care. They provide vital services, reassuring patients and the families who care about them. Often loved ones require care we are not able to provide. We are either not physically able or do not have the skills or means to provide them. Expert caregivers are trained to provide round-the-clock services in safe environments. Their care enables the family to focus on their loved one’s healing process. In hospice care, a caregiver allows the family to spend time with their loved one without worrying about medical responsibilities. Caregivers deliver a variety of duties from personal care to medical services with compassion and professionalism. Their days may be long and demanding, but they provide support to those who need it most. The celebration recognizes caregivers who provide quality, compassionate care every day. HOW TO OBSERVE #NationalCaregiversDay Take time to thank a caregiver for their dedication and care of our loved ones. There are several ways to show your appreciation: Give them a card of thanks. This may seem like a simple gesture, but it will mean a lot to the caregiver. Let them know with a kind word of encouragement. Your recognition will inspire them to continue their quality work. Tell their supervisor how much you appreciate the services. Compliments are rarely voiced. Take the time to make yours heard. Employers can provide a special appreciation luncheon. Use #NationalCaregiversDay to post on social media. NATIONAL CAREGIVERS DAY HISTORY Providers Association for Home Health & Hospice Agencies (PAHHHA) founded National Caregivers Day in 2015 to dedicate a day to caregivers everywhere. The first observance occurred in 2016. For more information, please visit http://pahhha.org/. In 2016, the Registrar at National Day Calendar proclaimed the day to be observed on the third Friday in February annually. See more

National Random Acts of Kindness Day Today (February 17th) is National Random Acts of Kindness Day and the perfect opportunity to show our kiddos how simple it is to spread kindness. It is a day that we can use to teach our kids a valuable life lesson about love and kindness.... Here are 10 simple ways to be kind: 1. Volunteer at the local pet rescue, homeless shelter or food bank 2. Leave an encouraging note on a rock or decorate a rock and hide it in their neighborhood or at school 3. Make cards for the elderly, our troops, kids in local foster homes, first responders or children in local hospitals 4. Donate gently used books to a little library (littlelibrary.com for locations) 5. Give compliments all day and to anyone. Encourage your children to smile at people and open doors for others 6. Be helpful to neighbors by offering to help with chores, mow the lawn, wash the car, take out the trash or recycling bins 7. Clean out and donate gently used toys to kids less fortunate 8. Give the lawman, mailman etc. a cold water 9. Get a group of friends and walk the neighborhood/town park/school/beach picking up trash 10.
